Mark Dean Schwab, Convicted Child Killer, to be Executed Tuesday

Mark Dean Schwab, a convicted killer, is set to be executed in Florida on Tuesday in their first execution since the state moratorium in 2006.

The execution will become the first in the state since Florida's botched execution of Angel Diaz in December 2006. The needles missed Diaz's veins and it took 34 minutes for him to die, more than twice the normal time.

Schwab, 39, was convicted of the murder of 11 year old Junny Rios-Martinez in 1991. Schwab raped and killed Rios-Martinez a month after Schwab was released early from a prison sentence he got for raping a 13-year-old boy.

The case prompted Florida's Junny Rios-Martinez Act of 1992, which prohibits sex offenders from early release from prison or getting credit for good behavior.

Schwab stalked the Rios-Martinez after seeing his photo in a newspaper for winning a kite contest.

Schwab will become the 10th person executed in the United States since the Supreme Court's Kentucky ruling and the 21st Florida inmate to die by lethal injection since the state changed its method of execution in 2000.
