DeSantis calls to end jury unanimity for Florida death penalty cases

Republican governor suggests super-majority' should suffice in state that has required jury unanimity in capital cases since 2017

Fine, have a super-majority," DeSantis told the Florida Sheriffs Association on Monday. But you can't just say one person votes no."
