YWN regrets to inform our readership that Michoel Yechiel ben Miriam Sorah, Martin Grossman (a bal Teshuva who set on tefillin and davened Three periods a day), was R”L executed by lethal injection just moments ago by at Florida State Prison.

A supply in the Florida Express Prison tells YWN that a Chabad Shliach was with Martin Grossman just prior to his execution, and recited Viduy and other Tefillos with him.

He was convicted of first-degree murder within the death of 26-year-old Margaret “Peggy” Park, who was killed on Dec. 13, 1984.

Tens of thousand of Religious Jews had signed petitions, near to 10,000 phone calls were recorded at the Governors Office, thousands of emails had been sent, and Tehiilim gatherings were being held, all begging Florida Governor Charlie Crist for a 60 day remain of execution for Martin Grossman.
