Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is asking the Florida Supreme Court to reject a petition asking that portions of a new law intended to speed up death penalty appeals be declared unconstitutional.
A coalition of Capital Collateral Regional Counsel and private appellate attorneys united in a petition filed June 26, asking the court invoke its all-writs jurisdiction just days before the law was to take effect July 1. It also asked for an injunction, barring enforcement of the law until it gets judicial review.
