Today, @flsao5 announced that they will seek the death penalty in a case of sexual battery against a child under age 12.
It will be the first case to challenge SCOTUS since I signed legislation to make pedophiles eligible for the death penalty.
@flsao5 has my full support.— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) December 14, 2023
Governor Ron DeSantis supports this decision, citing legislation he signed to make pedophiles eligible for the death penalty.
“Today, @flsao5 announced that they will seek the death penalty in a case of sexual battery against a child under age 12,” DeSantis said.
“It will be the first case to challenge SCOTUS since I signed legislation to make pedophiles eligible for the death penalty. @flsao5 has my full support.”
DeSantis pressed that he is ready to take the battle to the Supreme Court “to overrule judicial precedents which have unjustly shielded child rapists from the death penalty and denied victims and their loved ones the opportunity to pursue ultimate justice against these most heinous criminals.”
Additionally, he signed a bill to change the requirement for a death sentence from a unanimous jury vote to 8 out of 12 jurors.
