Jerry Correll was convicted and sentenced to death for the murders of his ex-wife, Susan Correll; her sister, Marybeth Jones; their mother, Mary Lou Hines; and Correll’s five-year-old daughter, Tuesday.
The bodies of the four victims were discovered at the Hines residence on the morning of 07/01/85. All of the victims had been stabbed and died as a result of the hemorrhaging caused by the penetrating wounds.
One-and-a-half hours after authorities arrived on the scene, detectives encountered Jerry Correll there and asked him to make a statement.
Correll subsequently went to the Sheriff’s Department and recorded an oral statement establishing an alibi for his whereabouts on the night of the murders. Correll was interviewed again the next day and later arrested.
Forensic evidence linked Correll to bloody fingerprints and palm prints found at the murder scene. Additionally, Correll could not be omitted as the person whose bloodstains and semen were found at the scene.
30 years on death row. Must have had some good lawyers.

I've never heard this one before:
"In Florida, Correll's attorneys had argued that his history of alcoholism would render the drug ineffective in knocking him out. But Florida courts dismissed those arguments."

Correll's attorneys had argued that his history of alcoholism would render the drug ineffective in knocking him out. Ooops attorney's were wrong, guess they forgot he has been sober for 30 years. 10 minutes he's toast.
