佛罗里达州最高法院维持一项法律, 允许非全体陪审团推荐死刑判决, Florida’s Supreme Court has upheld a law allowing nonunanimous juries to recommend death sentences, affirming an 8-4 majority as sufficient, the weakest standard in the U.S. 2025年12月18日发布的裁决强化了2023年的一项法律,推翻了先前一致的陪审团要求,此前美国最高法院在2016年作出裁决,宣布佛罗里达先前的制度无效。 The decision, issued December 18, 2025, reinforces a 2023 law that reversed a prior unanimous jury requirement, following a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidated Florida’s previous system. 这项改变是由罗恩·德桑蒂斯总督任命的保守法官推动的,允许在大多数陪审员同意的情况下判处死刑,包括不顾联邦禁令而对儿童强奸定罪。 The change, driven by conservative justices appointed under Governor Ron DeSantis, permits death sentences in cases where a majority of jurors agree, including in child rape convictions despite a federal ban. 佛罗里达州正按计划在2025年处决19人,全国处决人数最多。 Florida is on track for 19 executions in 2025, the most in the nation.
