Florida: smarter than Wisconsin?
Following a vote by Wisconsinites encouraging the return of the death penalty in this state, Florida Governor Jeb Bush (yes, that other Bush) has stepped away from family tradition and ordered a moratorium on implementations of the death penalty in that state — and a study into them — after a botched state-sponsored murder of an inmate earlier this month.
A California judge ruled the use of lethal injection a violation of cruel and unusual punishment — yet the death penalty “could be fixed.”
I could be disgusted — well, more disgusted — at this turn of events. But rather than fight this broken, psychotic system here, I think I just want to move to Auckland, New Zealand. Who’s with me?
