So finally we do have death panels: GOP legislatures >

"rules for thee, not for me"  -every GOPer >

So you can see how racists jurors (& judges) would now be able to sentence a person to death without unanimous consent. >

Hey, 8 out of 12 is good enough for the state to order your execution.
Now we only need to be 66% sure that you probably, maybe, likely deserve death.
WTF Florida? >

Before the Florida Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional a 7-5 jury could result in a death penalty.
That Florida Supreme Court has since be loaded-up with even more right-wing Conservatives so they'll probably allow it now though. >


even more right-wing Conservatives

Why even require a majority? If one juror votes death, death it should be. Enough coddling of the falsely accused! >

summary execution by the jury foreman >

You're joking, but the mods on true crime subreddits cracked down the past year on people saying stuff like that should happen. >

When you are deciding between easier ways for the government to kill people, rather than abolish it, you know you are headed south (down), in the wrong direction...

They banned books already >

Like i said, Florida is actively trying to kill off its population. >

Death cult. >

The state of Florida enjoys killing people, clearly. >

These lawmakers have clearly never served as jury on a criminal case. >

Yeah... making life and death decisions shouldn't require unanimous consent.    1 in 12 is fine.   Heck, even 12 objections shouldn't disqualify a person from the death penalty if the public agrees they're guilty enough.   The person can always appeal the conviction if something goes wrong or exonerating evidence is found 40 years later. >

This seems like a bad idea and poorly thought out. If not unanimous, why is setting the threshold at 75% better? Why not 2 out of 12 or 5 out of 12? >

Don’t go to florida >

Coming soon: Only Half+1 of Jury needed to convict. >

Just as God wrote the bible, Governor Ron DeathSentence is rewriting FL law.  Amen.
