1 MIN READ
The Senate voted 34-0 to bar the executions of teens who murder before their 18th birthday. Under current Florida law, killers can be executed only if they've reached age 17 at the time of the crime. The bill (CS-SB 1212) went to the House, where companion bill (HB 1615) is pending before the Criminal Justice Appropriations Committee.
