The man on death row for raping and murdering a Brevard County boy will be executed later this year as planned, despite his attorneys' appeals.
Lawyers for Mark Dean Schwab had been arguing their client suffered from a brain impairment, which made his death sentence unconstitutional.
They also raised questions about Florida's lethal injection procedures.
However, Sunday we learned a judge denied the motion.
Schwab has spent more than a decade in prison after the 1991 kidnapping, rape and murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios Martinez in Cocoa.
His execution is scheduled for November
