Well, floridas Death Penalty back in play, the Governors Office says he will sin into law a bill by the senate and this bill revises how the state sentences criminals to die. This was an absolute necessary fix after the Supreme Court rules on the Capital Punishment uninstitutional. Many of the experts believe this revamped Death Penalty will also end up before the Supreme Court. We are joined now to l to by chis chris to explaing what is going on. When is a solution not a solution . When it does resolve all of the problems. Lets back up here. Some january the u. S. Supreme court said floridas system is unstational because it allows judges to impose the Death Penalty rather than juries and they also tried to resolve another issue, because it doesnt require unanimous juror consent on the depth penalty like 47 other states do, well, the legislature wrangled bortd and came up saying that at least 10 of 12 jurors must agree on the depth ted bundy, well, his sentence and recommendation of death wasnt unanimous and when the prosecutor argued that and it went through committee, they made that point, we are looking at the worst of the worst and so if that was not unanimous, what does it say for justice . But the problem he said is it leaves the law vulnerable to appeal. He said the first person to be sentenced under this new law will challenge it and it will end up before the court and likely be instruct down because be struck down, and just today, alabamas depth depth Death Penalty was ruled ininstitutional.
