    In this Florida Man True Crime Story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, Ky tells you the case of Loran Kensley Cole, the first man executed by lethal injection in Florida in 2024. This case takes us back to an attack in Ocala National Forest, leading to a 30-year journey on death row. Join Ky as she unravels the story of a man whose life was marred by a traumatic childhood, a violent past, and a crime that shocked the nation. We explore the brutal murder of John Edwards and the horrific assault on his sister, Pam Edwards, as they embarked on a seemingly innocent camping trip. Through detailed accounts and courtroom drama, we question the impact of Loran's troubled upbringing and whether it should have influenced his sentencing. 

    Question: Do you believe Lauren's past should have been considered in his sentencing?
