A group of conservatives is fighting against the Florida death penalty by urging the prosecutors not to seek the death penalty in capital cases. A State Supreme Court ruling has said that the previous death sentences are unconstitutional, and will send back the hundreds of death row cases to the courts for resentencing.

When that happens, the group Florida Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty hopes that the prosecutors seek life without parole, not death.

Members of the group argue that the death penalty process is too costly and also there is the possibility for errors. “You only get one shot with the death penalty. Once it’s been executed, there’s no going back,” said Brian Empric, Former Vice Chair of the Florida Federation of Young Republicans.

“The death penalty process is far too costly, cumbersome, and error-prone to continue. Given that Florida has wrongly convicted and eventually released more people from their death row than any other state, the stakes are far too high,” said James Purdy, 7th Judicial Circuit Public Defender.

Orange-Osceola County State Attorney Aramis Ayala has argued with Governor Rick Scott over the death penalty earlier in this year. Ayala announced that her office will not seek that sentence in any case, prompting Governor Scott to reassign the death penalty eligible cases to the other state attorneys.

Ayala has sued the Governor and the both of them will argue the case before the Supreme Court later in this month.

Florida joins ten other states which have similar conservative groups advocating against the death penalty.

“A growing number of conservative Floridians have concluded that the death penalty violates our core conservative tenets of valuing life, fiscal responsibility, and limited government,” said Marc Hyden, the National Coordinator of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty.
