The death penalty stands in Florida and no one is more deserving.

Here’s hoping his fellow inmates make him yearn for death while he waits.

They won't because they are stupidly segregated from GenPop. If more death penalty cases were stuck with other prisoners, we would have a lot fewer appeals to deal with.

Unfortunately, here is what will happen. He will be in a solitary cell 23 hours a day for the next five years, until he is sentenced to death in 2020. The appeals will go on for another ten years, until 2030, while he sits in a solitary cell on death row. He will then petition for a new trial on some basis, which may or may not be granted. He will then sit on death row, waiting for a governor in the 2030s or 2040s to sign his death warrant, until he dies in 2053 of natural causes. If you don't believe me, check out the FL death penalty roster here, where you will note that at least 12 men who were sentenced to death in the 1970s are still awaiting the execution of their sentence.
