TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida is one of 25 states in the U.S. that have the death penalty, and earlier this month, the Florida Supreme Court decided that Michael Woodbury, the Conway Army Barracks killer who went on to murder a fellow inmate in Florida, can be executed.

It was July 2, 2007, when Woodbury, then 31 and now 45, walked into the Army Barracks store at 347 White Mountain Highway in Conway and shot store manager James Walker, 34, and two customers from Massachusetts, William Jones, 25, and Gary Jones, 23, who had come to the area to go camping and who had apparently tried to halt Woodbury’s bid to steal a car.
