DeSantis signs tough crime bills, including death penalty for child rape.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed three crime bills aimed at strengthening "law and order" in the state, including allowing for the execution of child rapists, harsher punishments for those trafficking fentanyl, and a minimum life sentence for child rapists. The bills also implement a uniform bond schedule for repeat offenders and strengthen penalties for fentanyl trafficking charges, especially for offenders who target children. DeSantis rejected "soft on crime policies" and emphasized the need to treat criminals like criminals.
