Fla. Supreme Court: Jury must be unanimous on death penalty
Attorney General Pam Bondi will decide Monday, during a conference call with 20 state prosecutors, whether to appeal the decision, said Buddy Jacobs, general counsel for the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association.
"What we've discovered is, in a drug deal gone bad, people die, and this is the defense," Buddy Jacobs, general counsel for the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association, told the 18-member panel. "Our conclusion is that this law ought to be repealed. We don't think it's a thing we can tweak."
