DeSantis signs new death penalty bill, vowing Supreme Court showdown
"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill Monday allowing the state to seek the death penalty in sexual battery cases involving children younger than 12.
Why it matters: The legislation is in direct violation of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kennedy v. Louisiana, which found it unconstitutional for states to use capital punishment for a crime other than murder.
"The death penalty should not be expanded to instances where the victim's life was not taken," the ruling said.
The governor's office said DeSantis is "prepared to take this law all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule" existing precedent."
