Later two separate death row inmates, Phillip Atkins and Thomas Harrison Provenzano, attempted to use White's execution as evidence that Florida's electric chair was malfunctioning and subjected death row inmates to cruel and unusual punishment.

[10] Orange County deputy sheriffs found Jerry White lying on his side in a wooded area with cash in his pockets less than an hour after the shootings.

Ultimately, his spinal cord injuries caused him to be paralyzed from the neck down and unable to speak for the rest of his life.

[4] Alexander remained in a Veterans Administration hospital in that condition until he died approximately four years later, in October 1985, of heart failure and other complications related to the injuries he sustained in the shooting.

[5] Authorities transported White to Florida's death row via the Orange County Sheriff's Office's plane later on May 4.

White's first execution date was scheduled for October 8, 1985, alongside fellow death row inmate Raleigh Porter.

[3] At the time of Villareal's accusations, Moran was on suspension by the Florida Bar Association for misrepresenting facts in an unrelated case.

When discussing a witness's identification of White, Moran allegedly told a police officer, "I don't know how they can tell with black people.

In another statement, Villareal alleged that Moran told White, "Now, see, your ancestors, they haven't been running around in those jungles there for 300 or 400 years clearing those logs with tigers chasing them.

"[11] Moran denied the accusations, claiming that he had never used cocaine and that his mannerisms during the trial were due to him having undiagnosed diabetes and were mistaken for drunkenness.

[15][16] A judge ultimately determined in a 1986 hearing that Moran had done a satisfactory job defending White and rejected the petition for a new trial.

[17] Then-governor Lawton Chiles signed a third and final death warrant scheduling White's execution to take place on December 4, 1995, at 12:05 p.m. Three hours prior to the scheduled execution, White received a last meal consisting of grilled round steak, French fried potatoes, coleslaw, toast, and orange juice.

When asked for a final statement, White said, "I wish that all the people who can hear my voice will turn to the Lord Jesus Christ as I have."

Prior to his execution, White had written a similar statement that he wanted to be released after he died, reading, "I have confessed all my sins before the Lord my God.

Atkins was scheduled to be executed one hour later on the same day as White, but his argument earned him a delay, albeit an ultimately unsuccessful one.

"[20] Although Provenzano ultimately lost his petition, Florida began offering death row inmates the choice of lethal injection since the 2000 execution of Terry Melvin Sims.
