With two days to go until the Florida Supreme Court hears arguments in Hurst v. Florida, a coalition of legal luminaries is weighing in to urge the justices to turn all pre-Hurst death sentences into life sentences.
The group, featuring Rosemary Barkett—now a judge on the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in The Hague—also includes former Florida Supreme Court chief justices Gerald Kogan and Harry Lee Anstead, former American Bar Association presidents Martha Barnett and Talbot “Sandy” D’Alemberte, and former Florida Bar president Henry Coxe.
