Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) proposed raising the minimum punishment for several crimes, as he hopes to make his “anti-crime” legislation come to life.
DeSantis announced that he wants to make child rapists eligible for life in prison and require them to serve a minimum sentence with no possibility for parole following their heinous actions.
“And so we have a legislative session coming up, and we want to make sure that we cement our reputation as being a law and order state and take actions as necessary to help further protect the people of the state of Florida,” DeSantis said during a press conference.
