					<description><![CDATA[In a case stemming from the 1976 strangulation of a 13-year-old girl, the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday rejected arguments that a Death Row inmate should receive a new sentencing hearing. The arguments by attorneys for inmate James Ernest Hitchcock were rooted in a major 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling and subsequent Florida decisions that have led to requiring unanimous jury recommendations before defendants can be sentenced to death.

					<description><![CDATA[The state’s leading death penalty opposition group is calling for more than 200 Florida death row inmates to have their sentences reduced to life imprisonment. Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP) says a Florida Supreme Court decision on convicted killer Mark Asay out Thursday means that many are “entitled to be resentenced.” The court determined that this year&#8217;s U.S. Supreme Court opinion, Hurst v. Florida, requiring Florida juries—not judges—&#8221;to (determine) the facts necessary to sentence a defendant to death&#8221;&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida asked the state&#8217;s high court on Thursday to reject a condemned inmate&#8217;s request to delay his execution based on the U.S. Supreme Court&#8217;s finding that its procedure for imposing the death penalty is illegal.
