Florida reinstates death penalty by legislative action
Florida becomes the first state to restore capital punishment through law after a four day special session. Gov. Askew signed the death penalty bill as California voters also approve capital punishment in a separate referendum. The move follows the U.S. Supreme Court ruling voiding capital punishment as then applied. The first conviction under the new statute is expected to reach the high court for a ruling on the June 29 decision.
