[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 436361"] Yes. It's not an option for second degree, manslaughter, etc. There are other crimes also subject to capital punishment in Florida as well. [SIZE=3][B]Florida[/B] - First-degree murder; felony murder; capital drug trafficking; capital sexual battery[/SIZE] [URL]http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/crimes-punishable-death-penalty[/URL] If she had taken the deal and pled guilty that alone would take it off the table. She would get a life sentence instead. Also in Florida the judge can override the jury (not a common occurrence, but available). So the jury can decide that she's guilty and they want to give her a life sentence, the judge can decide she deserves death instead, or vice versa. On the financial side, death penalty cases cost far more than a life sentence because of so many lawyer hours that go into appeal after appeal (not the only cost, but this alone beats out the cost of a life sentence even if they live to be 100).
