By a 5–2 vote, the (extremely conservative) Florida Supreme Court holds that criminal defendants who exercise their right against self-incrimination by refusing to admit guilt may be punished with higher sentences due to "lack of remorse." https://t.co/p5XaoglWKU

SCOTUS is going to reverse this in 5 seconds. "Ok to punish less if remorse is shown, ok to punish more if 'no remorse' is supported by evidence, remaining silent is neither". Screencap this and show off to your friends later.

It’s fake. The “fifth amendment use” was a voluntary statement at sentencing after he was already convicted. Probably still bad but
Case: A jury convicted Davis of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. ... The jury convicted. The presentence investigation report noted Davis’s “extensive criminal history,” which included “numerous violent offenses.” ... At the sentencing hearing, Davis declared he was innocent. He insisted that the gun was not his, that the jury convicted him without sufficient evidence, and that his counsel performed inadequately. After Davis spoke, the court pronounced sentence. In doing so, the court recounted Davis’s significant criminal history and told Davis “you still fail to take any responsibility for your actions.” The court concluded that, “considering your history here, your failure to take any responsibility, the nature of the crime, the fact that it involves a firearm, the Court will sentence you to 15 years . . . , which is the statutory maximum.”

Florida Derangement Syndrome, or FDS-- is the newest variant of rslur on the rise. I know a old gossip lady who says things on the phone like "Well I don't know so and so is from Florida, you know. They might not actually be vaccinated. Maybe that's why they didn't want to come? You'd find it out?" I don't know how widespread this new variant is, but I do know journos have been focusing on Florida a lot since Trump has been out of office. Dangerous anti science dictator DeSantis, etc.

maybe it’s a bit unusual but judges have discretion! Certainly not whatever OP claimed.

It doesn't even strike me as unusual. I ain't no lawyer or nuthin but isn't remorse or lack thereof commonly used for sentencing?

Remorse is commonly used to lower sentencing. This is using lack of remorse to raise sentencing (but within the discretionary area). Not entirely sure if there’s a difference smh

It's really impressive how many illegal laws/rulings we've had down here the last few years, like if you look at almost all the big laws Desantis has jerked off about since he was elected, a ton of them have been overturned in court.
But yeah, I think even the mega rightoid regular SC is going to insta shoot this ruling down if it gets appealed lol

They'll just make normal sentencing higher while increasing how much sentence remorse removes.

This has been the de facto state of American justice for years due to the plea bargain system. Admit guilt and get a lighter sentence or fight it and they charge you with literally everything they can think of.

I feel like this has been the case for forever. And the "5th amendment" bit is really the lesser problem -- the real frick you is that this kind of thing absolutely increases the sentence for innocent people who have been wrongly convicted.

From a few comments up: The Defendant waived his right against self incrimination by speaking voluntarily at the sentencing hearing. The FL SC’s ruling is consistent with federal court cases. Prime example of why it’s bad to rely on a partisan’s interpretation, particularly when he’s never practiced law

Dude voluntarily waved his right to not self incriminate by speaking at the sentencing hearing after he already been convicted. Dude said he dindu nuffin despite already being convicted. The court slapped him with a harsher sentence for showing no remorse.

I don’t think this actually violates the 5th in anyway after reading into it.
This morning, Cum went to the park. I went with Coom. And Cum brought Coomer frisbee. At least I think it was Coomers. By the end of the day, Cum started throwing the frisbee to Cumself.

I mean I get the 'no remorse' stipulation but I'd reserve that for perpetrators who actively antagonize victims before and during court proceedings... Silence is not that. In fact silence is the absence of that. In other words, you can't prove someone's silence is out of spite to the victims. This is a gross overstep.

The point with the kids was that they already are mandated for kids. So good luck with changing precedence.
See here's another thing ... there's no expectation of privacy in a public area. Fully within my rights to take pictures, even if you feel it's creepy. If you called the police department they would just laugh at you and tell you the same thing ... and that they couldn't do anything. Unless of course they kept taking pictures after you asked them to stop and they didn't ... at which point it would become harassment. Or possibly if it were pictures of minors... But that last part is a grey area. What if that pic was actually a crop of a pic that has my own kids in it and I didn't see the pin till after I went to crop her out? That's not creepy. It happens.
If your husband so much as touched the person, he'd go to jail for assault and battery and possibly subject to a civil lawsuit.
So who's fricking creepy now?
