Original Note:
Florida still requires unanimous jury verdicts to convict a defendant of a crime. The rule mentioned by the author refers to a jury’s role in determining the defendants sentence after a unanimous verdict. A sentence of death penalty no longer requires juror unanimity. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/florida-allow-death-penalty-with-8-4-jury-vote-instead-unanimously-2023-04-14/
