Terence Gross of Gross and Schuster, P.A. Defines Problems Facing Capital Punishment Cases Over Radio

Pensacola, Fla.- Esteemed personal injury attorney in Pensacola, Terence Gross of Gross & Schuster, P.A. has recently appeared on the WCOA Radio Show to express his worries concerning the status of death penalty sentencing in the United States.

Recently Gross was given the chance to speak on just how capital punishment in Florida is constantly being adjusted and changed. The personal injury attorney in Pensacola, FL, talked on how appeals as well as mitigation have been slowing down the legal system by delaying the conviction process.

“It doesn’t matter how heinous the committed crime was,” Gross said. “There will always be someone to oppose it. Sometimes that acts as a safeguard, but mostly it just delays the whole process in the criminal’s favor.”

Previously judges held the authority to override a death penalty charge; an approach considered unconstitutional and also later adjusted. Jurors were also able to influence sentencing, with one in 12 being able to disrupt conviction. As the laws continue to adapt, so do the lawyers at Gross & Schuster, who come up with the knowledge of how to apply justice.

The personal injury lawyer in Pensacola, FL, explains that even with licensed lawyers as well as no mitigations from the accused's sanity or competency, punishment can still be delayed for upwards of a decade. Gross suggests a separate 3-panel court specifically including only skilled legal representatives that are accredited in death charge instances.

“In fact, right now plenty of states are deciding to get rid of the death penalty altogether. People are beginning to understand that its ineffectiveness is preventing murderers from facing justice,” Terence Gross said.
