 1         (1)  The department, the guardian ad litem, a licensed

 2  child-placing agency, or any person who has knowledge of the

 3  facts alleged or who is informed of said facts and believes

 4  that they are true, may petition for the termination of

 5  parental rights under any of the following circumstances:

 6         (d)  When the parent of a child is incarcerated in a

 7  state or federal correctional institution and:

 8         1.  The period of time for which the parent is expected

 9  to be incarcerated will constitute a substantial portion of

10  the period of time before the child will attain the age of 18

11  years;

26  the District of Columbia, the United States or any possession

27  or territory thereof, or any foreign jurisdiction; and

28         3.  The court determines by clear and convincing

29  evidence that continuing the parental relationship with the

30  incarcerated parent would be harmful to the child and, for

31  this reason, that termination of the parental rights of the

 1  capital felonies; further proceedings to determine sentence.--

 2         (1)  SEPARATE PROCEEDINGS ON ISSUE OF PENALTY.--Upon

 3  conviction or adjudication of guilt of a defendant of a

 4  capital felony, the court shall conduct a separate sentencing

 5  proceeding to determine whether the defendant should be

 6  sentenced to death or life imprisonment as authorized by s.

 7  775.082. The proceeding shall be conducted by the trial judge

 8  before the trial jury as soon as practicable.  If, through

 9  impossibility or inability, the trial jury is unable to

10  reconvene for a hearing on the issue of penalty, having

11  determined the guilt of the accused, the trial judge may

12  summon a special juror or jurors as provided in chapter 913 to

13  determine the issue of the imposition of the penalty.  If the

14  trial jury has been waived, or if the defendant pleaded

15  guilty, the sentencing proceeding shall be conducted before a

16  jury impaneled for that purpose, unless waived by the

17  defendant.  In the proceeding, evidence may be presented as to

18  any matter that the court deems relevant to the nature of the

19  crime and the character of the defendant and shall include

20  matters relating to any of the aggravating or mitigating

21  circumstances enumerated in subsections (5) and (6).  Any such

22  evidence which the court deems to have probative value may be

23  received, regardless of its admissibility under the

24  exclusionary rules of evidence, provided the defendant is

25  accorded a fair opportunity to rebut any hearsay statements.

26  However, this subsection shall not be construed to authorize

27  the introduction of any evidence secured in violation of the

28  Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the

29  State of Florida.  The state and the defendant or the

30  defendant's counsel shall be permitted to present argument for

31  or against sentence of death.

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1         (2)  ADVISORY SENTENCE BY THE JURY.--After hearing all

 2  the evidence, the jury shall deliberate and render an advisory

 3  sentence to the court, based upon the following matters:

 4         (a)  Whether sufficient aggravating circumstances exist

 5  as enumerated in subsection (5);

 6         (b)  Whether sufficient mitigating circumstances exist

 7  which outweigh the aggravating circumstances found to exist;

 8  and

 9         (c)  Based on these considerations, whether the

10  defendant should be sentenced to life imprisonment or death.

11         (3)  FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF SENTENCE OF

12  DEATH.--Notwithstanding the recommendation of a majority of

13  the jury, the court, after weighing the aggravating and

14  mitigating circumstances, shall enter a sentence of life

15  imprisonment or death, but if the court imposes a sentence of

16  death, it shall set forth in writing its findings upon which

17  the sentence of death is based as to the facts:

18         (a)  That sufficient aggravating circumstances exist as

19  enumerated in subsection (5), and

20         (b)  That there are insufficient mitigating

21  circumstances to outweigh the aggravating circumstances.

22

23  In each case in which the court imposes the death sentence,

24  the determination of the court shall be supported by specific

25  written findings of fact based upon the circumstances in

26  subsections (5) and (6) and upon the records of the trial and

27  the sentencing proceedings. If the court does not make the

28  findings requiring the death sentence within 30 days after the

29  rendition of the judgment and sentence, the court shall impose

30  sentence of life imprisonment in accordance with s. 775.082.

 1  conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to automatic

 2  review by the Supreme Court of Florida and disposition

 3  rendered within 2 years after the filing of a notice of

 4  appeal.  Such review by the Supreme Court shall have priority

 5  over all other cases and shall be heard in accordance with

 6  rules promulgated by the Supreme Court.

 7         (a)  In any case in which the court has imposed the

 8  death sentence, the judgment of conviction and sentence of

 9  death shall not be held invalid, overturned, reduced, or

10  otherwise affected because a codefendant in the same case

11  accepted a plea offer from the state in exchange for trial

12  testimony, or an agreement to testify, and was not sentenced

13  to death.

14         (b)  No criteria for review by the court regarding

15  aggravating or mitigating circumstances shall be utilized

16  except as authorized in this section. The court shall not

17  engage in any form of proportionality review of a death

18  sentence, including, but not limited to, review of a capital

19  case based on comparable aggravating or mitigating

20  circumstances in other capital cases, based on comparable

21  factors in the defendant's background in other capital cases,

22  or based on the rate of imposition or execution of the death

23  sentence in other capital cases.

24         (5)  AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES.--Aggravating

25  circumstances shall be limited to the following:

26         (a)  The capital felony was committed by a person

27  previously convicted of a felony and under sentence of

28  imprisonment or placed on community control or on felony

29  probation.

30         (b)  The defendant was previously convicted of another
