Hey there, everybody.

Welcome to Amy and T.J. presents the Michael King execution.

We are talking about Florida's fourth execution this year, but it's more about the crime

that led to the execution that has everyone talking,

that has changed laws and certainly saved lives. And with that, everyone, welcome to this

episode of Amy and TJ Presents. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. Michael King, pronounced

dead at 6.13 p.m. Eastern time this past Tuesday. That was

March 17th. And the execution chamber was full. Yeah. This is, it's always fascinating to see who

does show up for these things because oftentimes they do take

not years not just a couple of decades sometimes but in some cases several three or four decades

a lot of family friends colleagues are gone so it's it is it's i don't know there's something

very heartening and as crazy it sounds about an execution, is sweet

that family members wanted to see it through after sometimes decades.

So, yeah, this said a lot about who the person was.

Yes.

And in this case, the victim, we should mention, 21-year-old Denise Amber Lee.

She was already the mom of two. She had a two-year-old. She had a six-month-old. We'll get into the crime and why that crime made national headlines. But it was, and I say just 18 years ago that this crime happened. And I say that because when we often talk about executions and inmates on death row finally getting that execution date, sometimes we're talking three decades, even four decades.

So this is actually a relatively quick from prosecution and sentencing to actual execution. Just 17 years, actually.

The shortest one we've covered in the past two years,

not even close.
