Mass Murderers should get accelerated Death Sentences, not 40 years on Death Row.................................
Mandatory minimum death penalty for mass shooters
Not sure I agree with this but I do wonder how we could assess the shooter as sane enough to sit trial for his crimes. Anything that can kill 17 people in cold blood is INSANE and should simply be locked up for life or executed. Maybe that’s what DeSantis is saying.
A murder that has no doubt….should be a trail in two weeks…appeal in a week..
Hanging in public a week after the appeal…
Lawyers are making millions
Make sure he goes into the general population where he can be quickly Dharmered or Bulgered
I don’t care if he’s sane or not, anyone who is a mass murderer and there is no doubt they did the crime, then execute withing 2 years.
The problem is that we require juries to be unanimous to convict, to acquit, and to impose the death penalty.
My suggestion: A decision must be unanimous if reached in, say, the first three days of deliberation. After that, make it 10 out of 12. This would solve a lot of jury problems
RE: adding that he wants the criminal justice system “not to be bending over backwards for the criminals but to stand up for victims and victims’ rights.
Amen
Jurors need to be death penalty qualified in Florida for cases where it could be the result. I would not qualify. It appears the juror lied here.
If the girl believed he was insane, then why did she vote to convict him?
The left cares deeply about criminals getting the death penalty but are totally in for killing unborn babies.
Public hanging...
Parkland shooter’s life sentence could bring changes to law
Associated Press, Oct 15, 2022
[...]
Florida’s law allowing for a majority jury vote had been in place for decades before it was overturned, but it was an outlier. Almost all death penalty states required unanimity throughout those years or adopted it. Alabama allows a death sentence after a 10-2 vote. Missouri and Indiana allow the judge to decide if jurors unanimously agree the aggravating circumstances exist but can’t agree on a sentence.
Then in 2016, by an 8-1 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out Florida’s law, saying the judge had too much weight in the decision.
The Legislature passed a bill requiring a 10-2 jury recommendation, but the state Supreme Court overturned it. In 2017, the law was changed to require a unanimous jury.
Three years later, however, DeSantis, a Republican, replaced three retiring Florida justices with more conservative jurists and the state court rescinded the earlier decision. It said a death recommendation no longer needed to be unanimous, but legislators through three annual sessions haven’t changed the law back from unanimity. DeSantis never pushed them.
Time to bring back the death penalty for situations like this one.
I’m perfectly happy to let the state cage the murderer until his last breath.
We need the death penalty back and a quick avenue to it. You kill so shall you be killed
