Setting the stage for a possible legal battle, Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a bill that would allow the death penalty for people who commit sexual battery on children under age 12.
But DeSantis and legislative supporters of the bill have been upfront about challenging the rulings, with DeSantis’ office saying in a news release Monday that he is “prepared to take this law all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule judicial precedents which have unjustly shielded child rapists from the death penalty and denied victims and their loved ones the opportunity to pursue ultimate justice against these most heinous criminals.
“In Florida, we stand for the protection of children,” DeSantis said during a bill-signing event Monday in Brevard County. “Unfortunately, in our society, we have very heinous sex crimes that are committed against children under the age of 12 years old. These are really the worst of the worst. The perpetrators of these crimes are often serial offenders.”
In Florida, we believe it’s only appropriate that the worst of the worst crimes deserve the worst of the worst punishment.
