Cerabino: Deadly secret lurks on ballot within Florida's Amendment 6
Hidden text. "And you have to get to Section 16, paragraph 10, sub-paragraph (b) of the amendment (not included on the ballot) to discover that you are voting to limit “all state-level appeals and collateral attacks on any judgment” in a death penalty case within five years, “unless a court enters an order with specific findings as to why the court was unable to comply with this subparagraph.” Yes, you’re not only voting to increase the retirement ages of judges, to reiterate a bunch of victim’s rights that already exist, and to violate a decades-old legal precedent to help polluters evade environmental regulations. You’re also voting to put a five-year clock on death penalty appeals."
