18 years on Death Row is nothing. In Florida we have murderers on Death Row since the 70’s who did their crimes in the 60’s. Really disgraceful.

The Florida death penalty (along with most other U.S. death penalty laws) was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1972 and anyone convicted prior to that date could not be executed.
