Florida’s Timely Justice Act risks speedily sealing fate

He recalls Illinois Governor George Ryan’s moratorium and commutations, warns of dangerous shortcuts, and questions the ethics of expedited capital punishment. He notes Florida’s high error rate, with 24 exonerations and 75 executions since the mid-70s, and urges a veto to avoid justice compromised by race and indigence.
