I just read the other day that the jury can make the recommendation for penalty but the judge has the option to agree or rule otherwise. Don't know if Florida or other state, and don't know where I read it, but if i find the link or other supporting info, will post it.
Florida Supreme Court Stays Executions to Review Constitutionality of State Death Penalty Statute; Later Rules Statute is Constitutional The Florida Supreme Court stayed two executions so that it could consider whether the state's capital punishment law is constitutional in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's Ring v. Arizona ruling.
You spoke too soon...LOL
She's not watching it.
Can someone tell me if GA and CA are in the courtroom today?
