A man convicted of raping and murdering 23-year-old Carmen Gayheart in 1994 is scheduled for execution in Florida on Tuesday. Anthony Wainwright, 54, was sentenced to death for his role in the brutal crime, along with his accomplice Richard Hamilton, who died in prison last year. Despite multiple appeals citing trial errors and claims of brain damage, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied Wainwright’s final appeals, prompting Gayheart’s sister to express her determination to witness the execution as a long-awaited closure for her family.
