There’s a town in Florida where your Social Security check doesn’t just cover the basics, it actually covers everything, and that town is Trenton.

Former Florida death row inmates to ask Donalds to pause executions

A group of anti-death-penalty advocates will gather in Florida's capitol on Thursday, Nov. 12, to call on Governor-elect Byron Donalds to pause executions in the state when he takes office. Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida has put 38 people to death since 2025 , with more scheduled. This particular group has a special insight on the matter: some of them have been on Florida's death row themselves. “When I hear about another execution, I think about how close I came to being one of those names," said Herman Lindsey, Executive Director of Witness to Innocence, in an emailed release. Lindsey was convicted in 2006 for a 12-year-old murder without eyewitnesses, fingerprints, or anything to place him at the scene. He was exonerated for insufficient evidence in 2009. "I was released, but I worry about who is still there and whether anyone is listening to them. That’s what I want the next governor to understand when we ask him to stop executions.” Republican Rep. Byron Donalds won the governor's race in the general election on Nov. 3, defeating Democrat David Jolly with 50.1% of the vote, according to unofficial results. The event is organized by Floridians for Alternatives to the Death

'He was not afraid': Tallahassee lawyer, former mayor Kent Spriggs dies

Longtime Tallahassee civil rights attorney Kent Spriggs – also a former city commissioner and mayor who spent more than 50 years fighting discrimination and racism – died Nov. 2 at his Asheville, North Carolina. The 87-year-old's death was announced by his wife, retired Tallahassee Democrat reporter Kathleen Laufenberg. Spriggs confronted injustice, even when it meant going head-to-head with hate groups, fielding threats or being handcuffed and jailed. Those who knew him say his intense disposition was rooted in a "take no prisoners" pursuit of the law. Some of his notable cases included David Roby Keaton, part of the "Quincy Five," a name given to five Black men from the rural city 20 miles west of Tallahassee who were were arrested for the murder of an off-duty Leon County sheriff's deputy during a robbery of a Tallahassee convenience store in 1970. The arrest sparked an outpouring of protests in Quincy and Tallahassee by those who believed the men were unfairly accused, according to a 2015 article in the Tallahassee Democrat . Keaton, one of the first to go on trial, was sentenced to death and later became the nation's first prisoner exonerated from death row. There were dozens more clients and
