Last week, we posted about a bill moving through the Florida House of Representatives in response to the SCOTUS ruling in Hurst, finding that the current Florida death penalty statute is unconstitutional.

Florida Senate Bill Takes Different Stance on Florida Death Penalty

There is also a new bill moving through the Florida Senate that also seeks to become the new Florida statute on capital punishment.

It is SB 7068, entitled Sentencing for Capital Felonies, and you can track it online here.

This Version Requires Unanimous Jury Before Death Penalty Could Be Imposed

The version of this bill, as it appeared on February 9, 2016, is shown below. 

Note the following: 

  1. it would require a UNANIMOUS JURY RECOMMENDATION before a sentence of death could be given.
  2. This jury must be UNANIMOUS on EVERY AGGRAVATING FACTOR, TOO. 
  3. Judges cannot OVERRIDE a jury’s recommendation of a life sentence and opt for capital punishment under this new proposed law.

   95         Section 3. Section 921.141, Florida Statutes, is amended to
   96  read:
   97         921.141 Sentence of death or life imprisonment for capital
   98  felonies; further proceedings to determine sentence.—
   99         (1) SEPARATE PROCEEDINGS ON ISSUE OF PENALTY.—Upon
  100  conviction or adjudication of guilt of a defendant of a capital
  101  felony, the court shall conduct a separate sentencing proceeding
  102  to determine whether the defendant should be sentenced to death
  103  or life imprisonment as authorized by s. 775.082. The proceeding
  104  shall be conducted by the trial judge before the trial jury as
  105  soon as practicable. If, through impossibility or inability, the
  106  trial jury is unable to reconvene for a hearing on the issue of
  107  penalty, having determined the guilt of the accused, the trial
  108  judge may summon a special juror or jurors as provided in
  109  chapter 913 to determine the issue of the imposition of the
  110  penalty. If the trial jury has been waived, or if the defendant
  111  pleaded guilty, the sentencing proceeding shall be conducted
  112  before a jury impaneled for that purpose, unless waived by the
  113  defendant. In the proceeding, evidence may be presented as to
  114  any matter that the court deems relevant to the nature of the
  115  crime and the character of the defendant and shall include
  116  matters relating to any of the aggravating factors enumerated in
  117  subsection (6) and for which notice has been provided pursuant
  118  to s. 782.04(1)(b) or mitigating circumstances enumerated in
  119  subsection (7) subsections (5) and (6). Any such evidence that
  120  which the court deems to have probative value may be received,
  121  regardless of its admissibility under the exclusionary rules of
  122  evidence, provided the defendant is accorded a fair opportunity
  123  to rebut any hearsay statements. However, this subsection shall
  124  not be construed to authorize the introduction of any evidence
  125  secured in violation of the Constitution of the United States or
  126  the Constitution of the State of Florida. The state and the
  127  defendant or the defendant’s counsel shall be permitted to
  128  present argument for or against sentence of death.
  129         (2)FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDED SENTENCE BY THE JURY.—This
  130  subsection applies only if the defendant has not waived his or
  131  her right to a sentencing proceeding by a jury.
  132         (a)After hearing all of the evidence presented regarding
  133  aggravating factors and mitigating circumstances, the jury shall
  134  deliberate and determine if the state has proven, beyond a
  135  reasonable doubt, the existence of at least one aggravating
  136  factor set forth in subsection (6).
  137         (b)The jury shall return findings identifying each
  138  aggravating factor found to exist. A finding that an aggravating
  139  factor exists must be unanimous. If the jury:
  140         1. Does not unanimously find at least one aggravating
  141  factor, the defendant is ineligible for a sentence of death.
  142         2. Unanimously finds at least one aggravating factor, the
  143  defendant is eligible for a sentence of death and the jury shall
  144  make a recommendation to the court as to whether the defendant
  145  shall be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility
  146  of parole or to death. The recommendation shall be based on a
  147  weighing of all of the following:
  148         a.Whether sufficient aggravating factors exist.
  149         b.Whether aggravating factors exist which outweigh the
  150  mitigating circumstances found to exist.
  151         c.Based on the considerations in sub-subparagraphs a. and
  152  b., whether the defendant should be sentenced to life
  153  imprisonment without the possibility of parole or to death.
  154         (c)If a unanimous jury determines that the defendant
  155  should be sentenced to death, the jury’s recommendation to the
  156  court shall be a sentence of death. If a less than unanimous
  157  jury determines that the defendant should be sentenced to death,
  158  the jury’s recommendation to the court shall be a sentence of
  159  life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
  160         (3)IMPOSITION OF SENTENCE OF LIFE IMPRISONMENT OR DEATH.—
  161         (a)If the jury has recommended a sentence of:
  162         1.Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, the
  163  court shall impose the recommended sentence.
  164         2.Death, the court, after considering each aggravating
  165  factor found by the jury and all mitigating circumstances, may
  166  impose a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility
  167  of parole or a sentence of death. The court may consider only an
  168  aggravating factor that was unanimously found to exist by the
  169  jury.
  170         (b)If the defendant waived his or her right to a
  171  sentencing proceeding by a jury, the court, after considering
  172  all aggravating factors and mitigating circumstances, may impose
  173  a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of
  174  parole or a sentence of death. The court may impose a sentence
  175  of death only if the court finds that at least one aggravating
  176  factor has been proven to exist beyond a reasonable doubt.
  177         (4)ORDER OF THE COURT IN SUPPORT OF SENTENCE OF DEATH.—In
  178  each case in which the court imposes a sentence of death, the
  179  court shall, considering the records of the trial and the
  180  sentencing proceedings, enter a written order addressing the
  181  aggravating factors set forth in subsection (6) found to exist,
  182  the mitigating circumstances in subsection (7) reasonably
  183  established by the evidence, whether there are sufficient
  184  aggravating factors to warrant the death penalty, and whether
  185  the aggravating factors outweigh the mitigating circumstances
  186  reasonably established by the evidence. If the court does not
  187  issue its order requiring the death sentence within 30 days
  188  after the rendition of the judgment and sentence, the court
  189  shall impose a sentence of life imprisonment without the
  190  possibility of parole in accordance with s. 775.082.
  191         (2)ADVISORY SENTENCE BY THE JURY.—After hearing all the
  192  evidence, the jury shall deliberate and render an advisory
  193  sentence to the court, based upon the following matters:
  194         (a)Whether sufficient aggravating circumstances exist as
  195  enumerated in subsection (5);
  196         (b)Whether sufficient mitigating circumstances exist which
  197  outweigh the aggravating circumstances found to exist; and
  198         (c)Based on these considerations, whether the defendant
  199  should be sentenced to life imprisonment or death.
  200         (3)FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF SENTENCE OF DEATH.
  201  Notwithstanding the recommendation of a majority of the jury,
  202  the court, after weighing the aggravating and mitigating
  203  circumstances, shall enter a sentence of life imprisonment or
  204  death, but if the court imposes a sentence of death, it shall
  205  set forth in writing its findings upon which the sentence of
  206  death is based as to the facts:
  207         (a)That sufficient aggravating circumstances exist as
  208  enumerated in subsection (5), and
  209         (b)That there are insufficient mitigating circumstances to
  210  outweigh the aggravating circumstances.
  211  
  212  In each case in which the court imposes the death sentence, the
  213  determination of the court shall be supported by specific
  214  written findings of fact based upon the circumstances in
  215  subsections (5) and (6) and upon the records of the trial and
  216  the sentencing proceedings. If the court does not make the
  217  findings requiring the death sentence within 30 days after the
  218  rendition of the judgment and sentence, the court shall impose
  219  sentence of life imprisonment in accordance with s. 775.082.
  220         (5)(4) REVIEW OF JUDGMENT AND SENTENCE.—The judgment of
  221  conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to automatic
  222  review by the Supreme Court of Florida and disposition rendered
  223  within 2 years after the filing of a notice of appeal. Such
  224  review by the Supreme Court shall have priority over all other
  225  cases and shall be heard in accordance with rules adopted
  226  promulgated by the Supreme Court.

  323  cocaine or opiates carries a grave risk of death or danger to
  324  the public; that a reckless disregard for human life is implicit

  326  who traffic in cocaine or opiates may be determined by the trier
  327  of fact to have a culpable mental state of reckless indifference
  328  or disregard for human life.
  329         (2) SEPARATE PROCEEDINGS ON ISSUE OF PENALTY.—Upon
  330  conviction or adjudication of guilt of a defendant of a capital

  332  sentencing proceeding to determine whether the defendant should
  333  be sentenced to death or life imprisonment as authorized by s.
  334  775.082. The proceeding shall be conducted by the trial judge
  335  before the trial jury as soon as practicable. If, through
  336  impossibility or inability, the trial jury is unable to
  337  reconvene for a hearing on the issue of penalty, having
  338  determined the guilt of the accused, the trial judge may summon
  339  a special juror or jurors as provided in chapter 913 to
  340  determine the issue of the imposition of the penalty. If the
  341  trial jury has been waived, or if the defendant pleaded guilty,
  342  the sentencing proceeding shall be conducted before a jury
  343  impaneled for that purpose, unless waived by the defendant. In
  344  the proceeding, evidence may be presented as to any matter that
  345  the court deems relevant to the nature of the crime and the
  346  character of the defendant and shall include matters relating to
  347  any of the aggravating factors enumerated in subsection (7) and
  348  for which notice has been provided pursuant to s. 782.04(1)(b)
  349  or mitigating circumstances enumerated in subsection (8)
  350  subsections (6) and (7). Any such evidence that which the court
  351  deems to have probative value may be received, regardless of its
  352  admissibility under the exclusionary rules of evidence, provided
  353  the defendant is accorded a fair opportunity to rebut any
  354  hearsay statements. However, this subsection shall not be
  355  construed to authorize the introduction of any evidence secured
  356  in violation of the Constitution of the United States or the
  357  Constitution of the State of Florida. The state and the
  358  defendant or the defendant’s counsel shall be permitted to
  359  present argument for or against sentence of death.
  360         (3)FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDED SENTENCE BY THE JURY.—This
  361  subsection applies only if the defendant has not waived his or
  362  her right to a sentencing proceeding by a jury.
  363         (a)After hearing all of the evidence presented regarding
  364  aggravating factors and mitigating circumstances, the jury shall
  365  deliberate and determine if the state has proven, beyond a
  366  reasonable doubt, the existence of at least one aggravating
  367  factor set forth in subsection (7).
  368         (b)The jury shall return findings identifying each
  369  aggravating factor found to exist. A finding that an aggravating
  370  factor exists must be unanimous. If the jury:
  371         1. Does not unanimously find at least one aggravating
  372  factor, the defendant is ineligible for a sentence of death.
  373         2. Unanimously finds at least one aggravating factor, the
  374  defendant is eligible for a sentence of death and the jury shall
  375  make a recommendation to the court as to whether the defendant
  376  shall be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility
  377  of parole or to death. The recommendation shall be based on a
  378  weighing of all of the following:
  379         a.Whether sufficient aggravating factors exist.
  380         b.Whether aggravating factors exist which outweigh the
  381  mitigating circumstances found to exist.
  382         c.Based on the considerations in sub-subparagraphs a. and
  383  b., whether the defendant should be sentenced to life
  384  imprisonment without the possibility of parole or to death.
  385         (c)If a unanimous jury determines that the defendant
  386  should be sentenced to death, the jury’s recommendation to the
  387  court shall be a sentence of death. If less than a unanimous
  388  jury determines that the defendant should be sentenced to death,
  389  the jury’s recommendation to the court shall be a sentence of
  390  life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
  391         (4)IMPOSITION OF SENTENCE OF LIFE IMPRISONMENT OR DEATH.—
  392         (a)If the jury has recommended a sentence of:
  393         1.Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, the
  394  court shall impose the recommended sentence.
  395         2.Death, the court, after considering each aggravating
  396  factor found by the jury and all mitigating circumstances, may
  397  impose a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility
  398  of parole or a sentence of death. The court may consider only an
  399  aggravating factor that was unanimously found to exist by the
  400  jury.
  401         (b)If the defendant waived his or her right to a
  402  sentencing proceeding by a jury, the court, after considering
  403  all aggravating factors and mitigating circumstances, may impose
  404  a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of
  405  parole or a sentence of death. The court may impose a sentence
  406  of death only if the court finds at least one aggravating factor
  407  has been proven to exist beyond a reasonable doubt.
  408         (5)ORDER OF THE COURT IN SUPPORT OF SENTENCE OF DEATH.—In
  409  each case in which the court imposes a death sentence, the court
  410  shall, considering the records of the trial and the sentencing
  411  proceedings, enter a written order addressing the aggravating
  412  factors set forth in subsection (7) found to exist, the
  413  mitigating circumstances in subsection (8) reasonably
  414  established by the evidence, whether there are sufficient
  415  aggravating factors to warrant the death penalty, and whether
  416  the aggravating factors outweigh the mitigating circumstances
  417  reasonably established by the evidence. If the court does not
  418  issue its order requiring the death sentence within 30 days
  419  after the rendition of the judgment and sentence, the court
  420  shall impose a sentence of life imprisonment without the
  421  possibility of parole in accordance with s. 775.082.
  422         (3)ADVISORY SENTENCE BY THE JURY.—After hearing all the
  423  evidence, the jury shall deliberate and render an advisory
  424  sentence to the court, based upon the following matters:
  425         (a)Whether sufficient aggravatingcircumstances exist as
  426  enumerated in subsection (6);
  427         (b)Whether sufficient mitigating circumstances exist which
  428  outweigh the aggravating circumstances found to exist; and
  429         (c)Based on these considerations, whether the defendant
  430  should be sentenced to life imprisonment or death.
  431         (4)FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF SENTENCE OF DEATH.
  432  Notwithstanding the recommendation of a majority of the jury,
  433  the court, after weighing the aggravating and mitigating
  434  circumstances, shall enter a sentence of life imprisonment or
  435  death, but if the court imposes a sentence of death, it shall
  436  set forth in writing its findings upon which the sentence of
  437  death is based as to the facts:
  438         (a)That sufficient aggravating circumstances exist as
  439  enumerated in subsection (6), and
  440         (b)That there are insufficient mitigating circumstances to
  441  outweigh the aggravating circumstances.
  442  
  443  In each case in which the court imposes the death sentence, the
  444  determination of the court shall be supported by specific
  445  written findings of fact based upon the circumstances in
  446  subsections (6) and (7) and upon the records of the trial and
  447  the sentencing proceedings. If the court does not make the
  448  findings requiring the death sentence within 30 days after the
  449  rendition of the judgment and sentence, the court shall impose
  450  sentence of life imprisonment in accordance with s. 775.082, and
  451  that person shall be ineligible for parole.
  452         (6)(5) REVIEW OF JUDGMENT AND SENTENCE.—The judgment of
  453  conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to automatic
  454  review and disposition rendered by the Supreme Court of Florida
  455  within 2 years after the filing of a notice of appeal. Such
  456  review by the Supreme Court shall have priority over all other
