Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed changes to his state’s criminal justice laws on Thursday, including making child rapists eligible for the death penalty and reducing the number of jurors required to dole out capital punishment.
Citing the case of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz, who was spared execution last year after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on capital punishment, DeSantis said that only the vast majority or a supermajority of a jury should be required to issue a death sentence.
“One juror should not be able to veto that,” DeSantis said at the Miami Police Benevolent Association.

We should have a life for life penalty. Death for a death. That will stop the mass shootings. Criminals need to be held accountable NOW
Child rapists deserve severe punishments and in fact should not be allowed to live! I agree with De Santis proposition! Bravo!
Logic and reason bring the following conclusions.
1. Death penalty is about vengeance.
2. Life imprisonment is about punishment.
3. Term sentence with the possibility of a convict being released needs to be about rehabilitation.
