now the legislature, they cannot decide. the senate want as unanimous decision from the jury and the house proposal only calls for a 9-3 split for a jury. let's bring in jeff brown or legal expert. until the ruling a jury in florida would recommend a sentence to the judge who would make the decision. are we the only state with that kind of set up. >> there are three states in the country, florida was one of them. delaware and bam pam being the other three that did not require a unanimous verdict the fact that you can finds someone guilty and it must be unanimous many when you decide on whether or not to kill someone and give them death. you don't need a unanimous verdict. it was crazy. we were one of three states that did not require a verdict. >> now as we said. there are two different plans in

and one the other the split decision. how would each effect how they were picked. that's something they are thinking about. , we as criminal defense lowers we had to worry t is a verdict as well for death cases. i tried it here. verdict. the idea in florida that you didn't need a verdict was always a little bizarre. we're talking about the most severe penalty they can give which is death. the other thing that was crazy about the system it was the jury that give it. they make a recommendation and the judge was free to go ahead without it or not. there was a case when i was a prosecutor where the jury recommended a life sentence 12 to 0 and the judge decided to give it. it is about time this was addressed in florida. it is amazing to mes legislature cannot agree to florida needs to

like every other state and they want to bring the litigation by coming up with a recommendation. >> what if they cannot agree. would they consider getting, doing away with the death penalty and that will cost a lot you know sentence people to life in prison s that what you think may end up happening. >> right now we don't have the death penalty. they have to do something f they cannot agree whether we need the verdict, we'll be in the land of limbo. that's a problem what is crazy. it costs florida 51 million for err a year for someone to be on death row f we turned it, life sentenc, life without parole. we're stopping that penalty phase of executing someone and the litigation.

that's an incredible amount of money when 70% of floridians want a life sentence without parole. so, the fact that the legislature cannot see this is just amazing to me. >> we'll see womans. the house bill gets a second look. we'll follow that closely. jeff, thank you very much. now to paul. we knew it would be cool and the blustery conditions kept up. >> we had a wind gust and 53 miles per hour in bel air. that's why when are you lying in bed at midnight you say what is that noise. that was howling last night. and look and watch and put the clouds into motion. look how fast they are going. they are along for the ride. this is the time lambs. but they have been racing from west to east all day. we had some sun even a couple of sprinkles today driving around town around 1:00.
