Supreme Court to review ex post facto death case Cobbert v Florida
The court agreed to hear Ernest Cobbert Jr.’s challenge to Florida’s death penalty as unconstitutional for crimes committed before the 1972 law. Cobbert killed his 9 year old daughter Kelly Ann in 1971 or 1972 and was executed under the later law. The case raises whether states may execute defendants for preexisting statutes. The court also refused to block funding for poor women’s elective abortions while a related lower court order stands.
