    Florida's correction website has removed their inmate morality pages. If a Florida DR inmate dies and the media doesn't report we won't know that they died for probably years.

    I must disagree Thakker. If Desantis wanted to execute a child killer, it should have been Bryan Jennings

    The Florida mortality page could just be down temporarily.

    They manually removed the links to the past 6 years. You can even get a link to it anymore.

    Florida death penalty reversal prompts legal ‘chaos’

    When the Florida Supreme Court ruled last month that a unanimous jury is not required for the state to hand down a death sentence, the decision reverberated in the state prisons that house hundreds of felons already sentenced to death.

    The legal wrangling over their fate overnight became “chaos,” says death penalty lawyer Marty McClain, the Christian Science Monitor reports.

    Only four years earlier, Florida had struck down the power of judges, not juries, to decide whether or not to execute convicts. That ruling came after the U.S. Supreme Court said Florida’s system for capital sentencing was unconstitutional, leading nearly 100 inmates on death row to challenge their sentences.

    A new conservative majority on Florida’s highest court has begun taking a shredder to this and other seemingly settled rulings, part of a national rollback of what conservatives see as an era of liberal judicial activism. With President Donald Trump’s appointment of 187 judges, three U.S. appeals courts have flipped from liberal to more conservative majorities.

    Critics say the Florida court’s abrupt reversal violates the concept of stare decisis, which holds that rulings that overturn established law should be “well thought-out and pretty rare,” says Prof. Kenneth Williams of the South Texas College of Law Houston.

    The reason for the change is the court’s makeup: Republican governors have replaced four of the justices who ruled on the 2016 case under Florida’s mandatory retirement law, tilting it to conservatives.

    The new judges “have a very narrow interpretation of the Constitution and they will come out with really narrow decisions,” says Stephen Harper of the Death Penalty Clinic at Florida International University in Miami. “That means the country is reverting to a much more conservative outlook and jurisprudence – more conservative than I think the public wants, or is.”

    What a whiney Bernie Sanders lawyer. We need true conservatives in this country or we will become Greece. Desantis would be a good pick to replace Trump in 2024. The demographics are of main concern. If Desantis did replace him, this country would once again trend rightward.

    Desantis would be a pretty horrible pick as I noted in his warrant thread, he is to the left of candidate Trump.

    I know you did Mike, but how much to the left is he though? He banned sanctuary cities in Florida, HeÂ’s pushing for E verify, and hurst was destroyed due to his judges.

    Of all the current republican governors, Sununu and Desantis are the only ones who have Trumps base and are moderate enough to win the general election.
