Edward Dean Kennedy (May 25, 1945 – July 21, 1992) was an American murderer who was executed for the murders of Florida state trooper Robert McDermon and McDermon's cousin Floyd Cone.[note 1] The killings occurred just hours after Kennedy escaped from the Union Correctional Institution, where he was serving a life sentence for murder. Kennedy was sentenced to death for the murders of McDermon and Cone and was executed by the electric chair.[3][4]
