Sounds awfully harsh.

Florida Could Become the First State to Execute Drug Dealers

Six months after Priest’s death, Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a law expanding the state’s first-degree murder code to include selling a lethal dose of fentanyl. The law, which only applies to adults, took effect October 1. Priest’s alleged dealer Tamas Harris was eight days into adulthood when Priest died. This month, 18-year-old Harris will go to court an accused murderer. If convicted, he faces the death penalty

Too bad there was no capital punishment in Florida for ripping off Medicare and fraud.

Scott wouldn't be governor--he'd be on death row.

He gets to make the rules, so he 18 yr old dealers are on death row, and he is in the mansion.

Either go all the way, or deregulate all this in between stuff on drugs is hurting us in the end.

No, but there should be a balance between crime and punishment. Death penalty should be reserved for premeditated murder, and even then only in the worst cases involving children and/or torture, or multiple victims. As you can read from the article you can get DP even if you had no idea someone had mixed fentanyl in the heroin you sold.

They hardly ever execute anyone in Florida. Death penalty typically means life in prison.

That is very messed up. Not to mention unenforceable. It is also going to lead to more murders that would be considered murders in any state. If someone's getting the death penalty anyways, what would stop them from killing witnesses and suspected snitches?

Have to wonder if it will be as racially/ecomically motivated as cocaine dealing penalties were? Are they going to execute doctors etc. or just street level dealers who are supporting their own habits.
