Florida To Begin Sentencing Pedophiles to Death – Democrats Outraged

They said the Constitution does not allow capital punishment for anything short of a homicide,” DeSantis began, referencing a Supreme Court from a decade ago.
“The problem with that you have some of these sex predators that will abuse these very very young children, do it habitually, and I’m just thinking to myself, you’re ruining those kids’ lives– those are innocent kids.”
DeSantis went on to suggest that the current Supreme Court would “not uphold” the previous ruling, thus his administration would begin “exploring ways to facilitate” capital punishment for such criminals, a proposition that was met with a round of applause from those in attendance.
“We understand it’ll be a challenge,” he continued, “but I think it’s ripe for us to challenge a decision that wasn’t well thought out.”
“What we know we can do regardless of how the Supreme Court stuff shakes out, is we do wanna ensure that the minimum sentence for these predators who are raping these young kids, that they do at least get life in prison because they will re-offend if you put them back on the streets.”
“These people don’t care,” DeSantis said of child sex criminals, referring to them as “the worst of the worst.”
“They are unrepentant, they don’t care about these children; they will do whatever they can do to satiate themselves at the expense of very very vulnerable people.”
Florida currently has some of the strictest punishments and restrictions for sex offenders in the nation, with the latest announcement proof that DeSantis is prepared to take things to the next level.

Well that’s a good start.

Well that's not true. The Rosenbaums (sp?) were executed for espionage.

I’m opposed to the death penalty but if if I wasn’t I’d have no problem making child molesters eligible for it.

I’ve always opposed this for one reason. It basically incentivizes the pedo to kill the victim. That’s why I would reserve it for murder. I don’t want to give them a reason to murder their victims to ensure silence.

Not lethal injection, hanging only

Kennedy v Louisiana will make those plans a pipedream
Posted on 1/28/23 at 7:22 pm to Placekicker
Uh.. I've got no problem with the death penalty.
Just that it's going to be a slippery slope if we start executing people for more and more crimes.
It's pedophilia now (which is obviously egregious) but then it becomes theft and then other crimes etc.
Plus, I guarantee that innocent people will be killed because of this.

Groomers won’t like this

Florida hasn't executed anyone in 3.5 years, and has had countless death sentences overturned in that period. This definitely isn't gonna expedite the process resuming. If it's heinous enough to be a capital offense, not sorry you get the penalty... but I recognize where scotus and our state supreme Court are going with the DP.

It's really a bullshite, living document S.C. decision. States executed people for all sorts of things up until recently. I know GA for armed robbery, rape, kidnapping, and a few others.

Awesome. So long as it is applied equally to women. For some reason many conservatives get all butthurt when a woman gets the death penalty.
Posted on 1/28/23 at 8:08 pm to Placekicker
And the term "groomer" just took on even more meaning.
Talk about a shot across the bow of the modern left.

Desantis shouldn't have any problem finding these freaks hanging around Disney or South Beach. Both are target rich areas. Time to fire up ol' sparky.

The Disney pedos are going to claim some BS about this being anti gay again.
Posted on 1/28/23 at 8:51 pm to Placekicker
I have said repeatedly that I think that the death penalty should be applied in very narrow circumstances for the most egregious of crimes ... I think that the rape of a small child, six or eight years old, is a heinous crime and if a state makes a decision that under narrow, limited, well-defined circumstances the death penalty is at least potentially applicable, that that does not violate our Constitution.

I love Ron.
But, gotta disagree.
It's easy for a guy to get unjustly convicted of pedo shite.
Could be a vindictive ex coaching the kid to say shite.
It's just issues waiting to happen.
FYI, frick pedos.
It's just the risk of unjust conviction too high.

Florida To Begin Sentencing Pedophiles to Death
Is there a punishment law on the books which was not repealed after Kennedy v Louisiana and has just been sitting on the books but deemed unenforceable due to SCOTUS, or must the Florida legislature pass a new law to accomplish this end?
If the latter, is there any indication as to whether legislature would be willing to pass such a law … or is DeSantis just blowing smoke at this point? Big GOP majority in the House, but only eight seats in the Senate. Would there be any defections?
==========
Here is a much better article regarding this development.
First, he is only encouraging the legislature to pass a new statute. There is not currently one on the books.
Second, he is also proposing a change in the rules regarding imposition of the death penalty in all cases. In particular, once convicted unanimously, he is proposing that less than unanimous consent of the jury be required in order to impose the death penalty.
