Death Row inmate Loran Cole seeks to vacate his death sentence due to abuse at Florida's Arthur G. Dozier School, citing unaware jurors in 1995 sentencing.

Death Row inmate Loran Cole, convicted of 1994 murder, requests to vacate his death sentence due to abuse at Florida's Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys. Cole's lawyers argue that jurors who recommended his death sentence in 1995 were unaware of the "torturous treatment" he suffered at the school. The motion comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill granting compensation to people who attended Dozier and suffered abuse. Cole's execution is scheduled for August 29.
