UPDATED 10:16 AM – Tuesday, May 2, 2023Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a set of new crime bills into law which are meant to keep criminals in jail, and “throw the book at pedophiles” on Monday.
The three new bills, House Bill 1627, House Bill 1359, and House Bill 1297, increase the penalties for fentanyl traffickers, target bail reforms that are pushed by “leftist prosecutors,” as well as allowing the death penalty for those who commit certain crimes against minors.
“Today, I signed legislation that will: Makes child rapists eligible for the death penalty with the minimum sentence of life in prison without parole,” DeSantis (R-Fla.) said on Twitter. “Impose additional penalties on fentanyl and drug-related crimes targeted at children, Protect Floridians from disastrous bail ‘reform’ policies.”
House Bill 1627 targeted “bail reforms” with a variety of changes which included requiring the state’s Supreme Court to create a uniform bond schedule for the entire state by the end of 2023.
House Bill 1359 aimed to increase penalties against “rainbow fentanyl” traffickers by increasing the sentence to a possible life term in prison. Also, under the new bill, if someone attempts to create or sell fentanyl, they face a mandatory minimum of three years in prison, and If an adult sells, or gives fentanyl to a minor, the mandatory sentence will be up to 25 years in prison.
The last bill the governor signed, House Bill 1297, which imposes the death penalty against those who “commit sexual battery against children under the age of 12.”

Can they run 'ole Sparky with solar power? Hate to have someone half 'green miled' and run out of juice.
i used to agree whole heartedly but after watching all those tv shows about how many deathrow inmates have been exonerated i can't any more. certainly, those caught red handed, confess etc, burn 'em. same for pedos, so long as the fbi isn't involved.
I don't object to the death penalty per se. I object to it being used by the corrupt criminals running our legal system. There are too many instances of people serving decades in prison to then be proven innocent. There's no undoing a death sentence once carried out. Death sentences should be reserved for the most heinous crimes where there is utterly no doubt regarding guilt. Those cases are rare.
