Wonder where the attorneys are getting their info. MS and JR were arraigned on May 9th so the 45 day deadline to file for the DP was met. On 2/18/16 the Fl legislature enacted
changes to the DP per the Supreme Courts ruling. Law on requiring aggravating circumstances are as follows although they have amended Jr's and may amend Ms's:
Notice of Intent to Seek the Death Penalty
The Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure require the state to give notice to the defendant of its intent to seek the death penalty within 45 days from the date of arraignment.
9 The rule does not require that any further information be conveyed in the notice; however, Florida has broad pretrial discovery and if the defendant elects to participate in the discovery process, the state’s evidence against him or her will become known through that process.
There is no statutory requirement that the aggravating factors upon which the state intends to rely in seeking death be enumerated before the state’s evidence is presented at trial or the sentencing phase.
Thank you for that information!
Amazing how the defense continues to try to bamboozle the court.
