[FL] The Capital Sex Crime Bill passed the Senate by a vote of 34-5. 34-5!!!! Unbelievable. It is also unclear if gender affirmation care would be considered a sex crime... Very dangerous, purposely vague bill that we expect the Governor to sign, probably in the coming days.
The vigil tonight for #LouisGaskin.
He was affectionately known as TipToe by those on the row and he was one who was able to change the whole mood back there. He was a changed man.
After 3 decades on death row, he was executed tonight and declared dead at 6:15 pm.
The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Louis Gaskin’s petition for writ of certiorari and application to stay tomorrow's scheduled execution. https://t.co/8t7KoXjPID @FLDeathPenalty@FADPorg#Florida#deathpenalty
New Death Warrant: Governor DeSantis has signed a death warrant for Darryl Barwick. For the fist time in a long time there will be 2 men on death watch in Florida.
Vigils and Protests

Gaskin is one of dozens of inmates sentenced to death by an 8-4 jury vote before Hurst forced Florida to rework its sentencing procedure — the group DeSantis seems to be targeting with warrants this year, as if laying the groundwork for the new law. https://t.co/T1Xkx86KSL
In no other state would #LouisGaskin be executed, because his jury was far from unanimous (8-4 vote), and now others wish they also voted for life. Sign & share this petition to stop #Florida's next execution on April 12, 2023: https://t.co/SFZ8yMs1T6
On April 12th the State of Florida intends to kill #LouisGaskin
Join this fight!
The #DeathPenalty is an outdated and barbaric punishment! It has been proven over and again to not be a deterrent to crime! The fact is…it’s just murder! #StopExecutionsFlorida#EndTheDeathPenalty
