Florida death row inmate Daniel Conahan seeks Supreme Court stay of execution to allow DNA testing
Attorneys for Daniel Conahan Jr., 72, filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a stay of his scheduled lethal injection execution for the 1996 murder of Richard Montgomery in Charlotte County, Florida. Conahan has requested DNA testing of evidence from the crime scene and victim's body since March 2025, but the state postconviction court denied his motion within 24 hours of Governor Ron DeSantis signing his death warrant on August 11. Conahan denies involvement in the killing and seeks only a stay to allow DNA testing, not exoneration or release.
