Antonin Scalia recently gave a speech in which he said the majority was preparing to do away with the death penalty altogether.

Apparently he is right.

It was 8-1, Alito dissenting. That’s a pretty overwhelming majority, so it might be simpler to assume that FL’s death penalty is flawed rather than assume there are judicial hijinks going on.

That’s going to cause a mess for 350 or so cases in FL. But the court appears to have ruled correctly.

He sliced and diced her with a box cutter, yet the Supremes could not find any extenuating circumstances to warrant death.

Harrisons body was bound and gagged with black electrical tape. The body had over sixty incised slash and stab wounds, all of which were consistent with having been made by a box cutter, which was found by the back door of the restaurant.

After the jury has done its job, the judge is the one who should impose the sentence. I don’t know where we lost that concept.
