More complicated than that. Double jeopardy would apply because a verdict has been rendered
IMO life without is worse than the DP.
Apparently not.
Broward County Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer will make the final decision on sentencing at a hearing scheduled for Nov. 1, but cannot legally stray from the jury’s recommendation of life without parole.
I'm sure you are right. American women watch Lifetime TV and live their lives in fear.
F Meredith Baxter Birney…
The prison population may take care of this problem...prisoners have kids too.
ha!
as long as he is alive
anything could happen
manson was sentenced to death
commuted to life when death penalty repealed
then up for parole on a regular basis
denied of course
but from death penalty to up for parole
as long as he is alive anything can happen
Prolly lack of heating oil will force the jail to close and the thug will be out there with 17 million illegals.
It should have to be TWO people.
One should have to convince at least one other to have
veto power or else the term jury has no meaning.
Somehow, I don’t think the killer will be around for a full fifty years. There is still a lot of local anger about the shootings. Surviving spouses, family members, close friends will have a long time to think about all of it.
Someone may decide it will be up to them individually to
‘set the record straight’, ensuing collateral damages be damned.
She probably will not though.
Yes those are things that could happen. Not likely, but possible.
Sounds like it was as we expected 1 woman rat lied and blocked the Death Penalty.
Of course.
Women shouldn’t be allowed to serve public office, be jurors, or to vote.
I think they could find a good use for some of that seized fentanyl in this case ... say a 50 mg dose.
In Florida, a death sentence requires unanimous jury decision. A judge may not unilaterally sentence a convict to death.
Florida let an innocent Terri Schiavo starve to death.
That Parkland shooter will probably be in segregation.
The article says that three jurors voted for life instead of the DP.
Wow! this is not playing out well for the lefturds...
You may be right.
One of the Manson murderers, Leslie Van Houten, was approved for parole, but the governor blocked it. That was in liberal CA, Florida would probably be tougher.
