DeSantis signs bills expanding death penalty for child rapists and cracking down on crime.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a law allowing the death penalty for child rape, despite a US Supreme Court ruling against it. The law allows a jury to recommend a death sentence for sexual battery on a child under 12 by a vote of at least 8-4. DeSantis believes the current conservative-majority Supreme Court may be willing to revisit the earlier ruling. The move comes as DeSantis touts a "law and order" focus as he nears an expected presidential run announcement.
