A man is scheduled to die by injection Tuesday evening, more than 25 years after he killed two women he met a day apart at bars in north Florida.
Michael Zack III was set to be executed at 6pm for the murder of Ravonne Smith, a bar employee he befriended and later beat, raped and stabbed with an oyster knife in June 1996.
Zack awoke at 5.30am and later met with a spiritual advisor and his wife, prison officials said.Zack was offered a sedative, but officials wouldn’t confirm whether or not he took it.When Zack's girlfriend called and said he was being evicted, the bartender offered to loan him her pickup truck. Zack drove to a bar in Niceville in the Florida Panhandle, where he befriended a construction company owner.
