Court in the mid-1980s Voters tossed her out because she opposed the death penalty This year the people who oppose Barkett chief justice are trying to make record look like when it comes to crime But doing a lot of stretching to make it fit Here are most of the main decisions they cite in an analysis of recent career followed by comparisons to the cases themselves You be the judge: Cox vs State has reversed numerous murder convictions opposing capital punishment and has voted to free killer Robert If Barkett opposes capital punishment news to the dozens of inmates whose death sentences she has voted to affirm true that Barkett voted to set aside conviction But so did every other justice on the seven-member court Dougan vs State believed that because (Dougan) had experienced discrimination hurt sorrow and Dougan should not receive a sentence of True except that Barkett write that opinion It was Parker Lee McDonald one of the most conservative members Wickham vs State This accurate Barkett thought the death penalty appropriate for the mentally ill 40-year-old defendant Songer vs State was Rosemary opinion that because of and heartfelt his and his impoverished he should only receive a prison sentence with the possibility for Another unanimous decision Santos vs State sounding more like a social worker than a judge still believed that is an inappropriate penalty in this True except that these words were written by Justice Gerald Kogan Karchesky vs State Barkett to reverse the sentence of Marcus Karchesky after he raped a minor Close Actually the decision by Justice Ben Overton and signed by four other justices allowed for a reduction in sentence fl State vs Riley This accurate Barkett thought people have a right not to have police helicopters circling over their homes at 400 feet Bostick vs State compared Florida law enforcement officers with Gestapo police in Nazi Germany and communists in Soviet Barkett actually said that police in those countries demonstrated how dangerous arbitrary searches can be State vs Wells This accurate The court said that when a suspect consents to a police search of his trunk that imply consent to search the luggage inside Wemctt vs State Barkett that the old age and vulnerability of a helpless woman is not a valid reason to give harsher Actually Barkett joined by five other justices only said you have to
