THE BLUE ANGELS

DIRECTOR

By Kelly Oden

People worldwide love and admire the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels, but locals have a unique appreciation for the talented demonstration flight team that calls Pensacola home. Known for their gravity-defying aerobatic flight skills and their unparalleled excellence, a Blue Angels Air Show creates a sense of magic, wonder and patriotism for all who attend.

Blues fans can experience the adrenaline-fueled world of Naval aviation like never before as acclaimed director Paul Crowder takes viewers on an exhilarating journey in his latest documentary, The Blue Angels. Filmed for IMAX, the immersive footage puts viewers in the cockpit for a firsthand view of the Blues’ precision flying while the aerial shots deliver a spectacular showcase of the breathtaking maneuvers that have made them the world’s premier jet team. The Blue Angels also takes audiences behind the scenes for a revealing, in-depth look at what it takes to become a Blue Angel.

Pensacola Magazine had the pleasure of speaking with director Paul Crowder about the film, the flight team and his newfound love for Pensacola.

Whose idea was The Blue Angels documentary and how did you become involved?

The concept was Capt. Greg Wooldridge, I believe. He was the most infamous boss of the Blue Angels. He was the only Blue Angel to be a boss three times. He had made a film with a guy called Rob Stone back in the 90s called Blue Angels: Around the World at the Speed of Sound. They decided they wanted to do a 75th anniversary film, so they started pitching it when it was the 74th year, not realizing how long it might take to get it together. They got Glen Powell attached. I think Glen Powell got Bad Robot attached and Bad Robot then went to Glen Zipper and Sutter Road. We had just

finished the UFO show that we did for them for Showtime. We had such a good experience on that show, and they asked if we wanted to do the Blue Angels film. I was a little surprised because I hadn’t shot aviation before.

I knew of the Blue Angels, of course. I used to see the Red Arrows in England, which is sort of the British version.

We just dove straight in. We met with Boss Greg and Rob Stone, and we went down to the show in Huntington Beach. We met the team at the time, plus the newbies that were joining up—which ended up being the guys on the team when we got there to shoot. It started from there.

I understand this film is focused on the process of becoming a Blue Angel. What did you learn about that process that stood out to you?

I think the most fascinating thing, of course, is that they turn over a third of the crew each season. It’s not just the six pilots, it’s a crew of roughly 150 personnel. They had to train a third of the team in three months before the first show. We had the same boss (Capt. Brian Kesselring), but he had a new number two and a new number three. Number three moved to four, but he hadn’t flown four before. Number six went to five, but Chewy (Lt. Cmdr. Cary “Chewy” Rickoff) had been injured the season before so he hadn’t flown much anyway. So, it was almost four new guys. That was just fascinating to me that these guys that are going to be flying this demonstration hadn’t flown with this team before. The first practice was in late December, and they had to be ready to do a show in the second week of March. It was just amazing to watch them figure it out. And then to learn that there are A and B positions for everybody. They all have a backup position. There’s a crew for the road and a crew that stays back at home base—and it all rotates. One interesting thing is that when you meet these guys in the Blue Angel suits, you figure that they’ve been Blue Angels all the time. As excited as I was to be there, they were more excited to be there because they’re Blue Angels

now. They’d just been Navy guys before that. They show excellence in everything they do. It’s good to watch them—you feel like the country is in good hands.

Did you get to ride with them?

I didn’t fly in any of the jets, sadly, but we got to go up in Fat Albert a couple of times. It was pretty cool. Especially when they do that weightlessness on the takeoff. It was all we could do to not throw up. The video footage is hilarious because we’re all giggling as we go up and then we sit back down, and everyone is just staring ahead and concentrating on not throwing up. It’s just crazy.

How did you shoot if you weren’t in the jets?

We shot from the ground where we could and then we used the RX0 camera and the RX 360 camera, which is a Sony. It’s very similar to a GoPro but it’s a higher resolution which would work for IMAX. We only put cameras in the cockpit of the experienced pilots. The boss (the number one pilot), the number four pilot and the number five pilots were the only guys putting cameras in the cockpits until much later in the season when they felt the other guys were up to it. That gave us close-ups. We put the little GoPro underneath the plane on the number one jet and the number five jet. We put two behind Chomps (Maj. Frank Zastoupil), so there would be the left shoulder and right shoulder so we can do different angles of that. In the movie Top Gun: Maverick they made pylons that fit where the missile holders would fit. They used that bracket. To get something made for the Navy is a very lengthy process of design and approval. And it’s a very costly process. It was completely outside of our budgetary constraints. We were able to locate the Top Gun pylons through some mastery from our production team. They tracked them down and we got them. They were already pre-approved by the Navy and already made. So, we were able to attach a Venice camera to the wing of a plane, but we couldn’t attach

it to the planes of the demonstration team. We attached it to a seventh jet and former Blue Angel Bob Benson flew alongside them and tracked them and filmed with the cameras attached to his plane. We were able to get some great shots from there.

The other constraint we had is that we could only shoot them when they’re flying, but they couldn’t fly specifically for us because of the cost.

The Blue Angels get the airspace for an hour every day over Pensacola, or wherever they were going to be. So, we know where they’re going to be flying and the routine they’re going to do. We’d get our best camera positions and shoot them every time we could. But the shots you really want are up in the air, so we also got the helicopter team who filmed Top Gun: Maverick, Kevin LaRosa and FitzMaurice. We had them in Pensacola on two different occasions. We got the helicopter up there—this had never been done before. No helicopters have ever flown in the Blue Angel formation. Bob Benson was in the helicopter with Kevin LaRosa and Mike FitzMaurice.

They coordinated where they needed to be to get the optimal shots. It was very cool, but we also had to deal with rain. When we did the helicopter shots in August, it was very hot and humid. They were scheduled to fly at 10 am. When we arrived at 7 am to get set up, it was just pouring. You couldn’t see anything. The team met for the brief at 9 am and the rain had slowed down.

By 9:15 am it had stopped. At 9:30 am they decided to fly and by 10 am they were doing a high show. All the clouds were gone, and they flew a full show. That was day one. On day two, the clouds came in a bit, and they had to do a flat show from the same path. Day three was rained out. Day four was much like day one. It was raining when we showed up, but it cleared up and we got to use the helicopter again. That happened also in November—we got there, it’s raining, it doesn’t look like we can do it. Then we can do it. It was incredibly sort of nerve-wracking because it’s expensive. If the helicop-

ter doesn’t fly, you lose that money. Did you form bonds with the Blue Angels team that you think will last well beyond the documentary?

Absolutely. I text, Chomps, Cheese (Lt. Cmdr. Chris Kapuschansky) and Jamz (Lt. Scott Goossens) regularly. Chomps and I played darts all the time. And then also a couple of the other crew, and of course, Greg Wooldridge and Rob Stone—the two people who had the idea for the project. I’m also very close with Boss [Kesselring] as well. It was just his birthday the other day. It’s interesting because I’m the kind of guy who has always hated authority. I hate being told what to do. Even in the car, if someone says to slow down, I’ll speed up just to do the opposite. I was mischievous in school. I was always the funny one, the troublemaker. So, the idea of being a military person was way out there for me. I have to say, I was totally and completely moved and engrossed in the military way of life and the importance of it. I think the thing that hit me hardest was the first time they played Reveille at eight o’clock in the morning or whenever it was. I think it was on the base and everything stopped. We were out driving and the guy who was driving just pulled the car over in the middle of a junction. They wind down the window and they salute the flag wherever it’s positioned on the base. It absolutely blew me away. I was totally moved by that and every time it came up, I really felt this real sort of connection with what it meant. It really hit me what it meant to serve your country, to be that dedicated to the cause. I had a little bit of like, ‘Man, I wish I’d sort of had that experience when I was younger. I’d love to have been a pilot.’ But anyway, I was totally moved by the experience. It was quite fascinating, which I wasn’t expecting because I’m a very rebellious type of character.

This award honors our military volunteers and is given to a Big who demonstrates the same commitment to their Little, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the children of our community. Orlando’s colleagues collaborated with our staff to surprise Orlando with the award during a ceremony at the National Museum of Naval Aviation aboard NAS Pensacola. During the ceremony, Bryan shared his heartfelt thoughts about his Big Brother: “Orlando, out of all the matches, I was blessed with you. When we first met I was nervous, but now I feel like a brother to you. You helped me find who I really am and you inspire me in so many ways. One special way you inspire me is to do and try new things. To the best Big, my Big Brother Orlando.”

On behalf of the staff and Board at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Orlando Navedo for his unwavering dedication and congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition.

MIRACLE LEAGUE OF PENSACOLA GIVES ALL ATHLETES A CHANCE TO SHINE

The Miracle League of Pensacola recently wrapped up another successful season at Escambia County’s John R. Jones Jr. Athletic Complex, providing an opportunity for players of all ages and skill levels to play t-ball, baseball and softball in a safe, fun environment.

In Miracle League, every player hits, gets on base, scores, and wins – every game. The goal is to provide an accessible, non-competitive place for children and adults with physical and cognitive challenges to enjoy baseball.

About 275 players ranging from 3 years old to 60 years old participated in Miracle League this season, in addition to hundreds of volunteers or “buddies” who are paired up with a player every game. The Miracle League fields stand out from the others at the park, with a rubber surface replacing the usual clay and grass surface to ensure the field is accessible to all.

“We make it as much like baseball as we can make it,” said Miracle League of Pensacola President and Co-Founder Larry Thompson, who started the program in 2002. “We just want them to get the whole experience of what baseball is.”

With no paid staff, Miracle League relies on volunteers to keep the program going, along with support from community partners including the Escambia County Parks and Recreation Department.

In addition to Escambia County donating the land at the park for the Miracle League to use, the Parks and Recreation Department supports the organization by providing park maintenance. Over the years, Parks and Recreation has also coordinated with Miracle League to provide sidewalks, bleachers, additional field safety netting and enhanced parking options.

have given thousands of dollars and countless hours of their time to support our players and Miracle League’s mission.”

While Escambia County Parks and Recreation is proud to play a role in Miracle League, Rhodes emphasized that the real credit belongs to the volunteers who work hard every day to keep the program going.

“The volunteers are such a key element to Miracle League’s mission and their continued success and growth,” Rhodes said. “We’re happy to provide the park and assist with improvements at the facility, but the volunteers are truly the heart and soul of Miracle League and the incredible opportunities they provide for their players.”

Commissioner Lumon May, who represents District 3 where the John R. Jones Jr. Athletic Complex is located, said Miracle League plays an essential role in ensuring youth sports are accessible to everyone in the Escambia County community.

“Youth sports are such a fundamental part of childhood, and nobody should be excluded from participating based on their ability,” Commissioner May said. “Miracle League of Pensacola provides an opportunity for all athletes to participate in the great game of baseball, which can be life-changing for those who might not have been able to play otherwise.”

Thompson said one of the most rewarding parts of Miracle League is getting to witness the smiles on the players’ faces and watching them overcome physical limitations to achieve things they may have once considered impossible.

Kenna Alverson

Kenna, a proud native of Atmore, Alabama, stands on the brink of graduation from Flomaton High School and Coastal Alabama Community College. As class President, she has shown dedication to her school and community through activities like the BETA Club and Leo Club. Recognized as a 4-year Academic All-Star, she also represented Flomaton on the Southern Pine Youth Tour. Despite initially doubting herself to pursue a career in the medical field, Kenna was inspired by her mother’s resilience and support which has led her to pursue a degree in the medical field as a pediatric radiologist at the University of Alabama. Moreover, Kenna’s goal is to create a nurturing environment in hospitals, making a tangible difference in children’s lives.

William Kroger

William Kroger, a resident of Pace, Florida, is on the cusp of graduating from Pace High School. Driven by a yearning for knowledge, Kroger embarked on a dual enrollment journey with Pensacola State College and subsequently the University of West Florida. Known for his dedication to community and school, he has served as a peer tutor and excelled in the band, earning Pace’s Concert Band Highest Honors.

John Pinette

John Pinette, the Micah Williams Memorial Scholarship recipient, is from Pensacola, Florida, and now resides in Central Florida, to pursue a Kinesiology Degree at the University of Central Florida (UCF). With a passion for fitness, he’s immersed himself in personal training and coaching. At UCF, he’s active in the Baseball and Golf Clubs and participates in research in the exercise physiology, intervention, and collaboration (EPIC) lab and the Musculoskeletal Laboratories. Pinette’s academic prowess is evident with consistent recognition on the UCF President’s Honor Roll and a perfect 4.0 GPA. Reflecting on his career trajectory, Pinette acknowledges that physical therapy initially was not his obvious choice. However, his perspective shifted when he began coaching CrossFit at his local gym and witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of movement on individuals’ lives.

“We are so proud to support Miracle League of Pensacola and their incredibly important mission in our community,” Parks and Recreation Director Michael Rhodes said. “When you see the excitement on the players’ faces when they reach a new milestone or just get a chance to experience the simple joy of playing baseball, it’s absolutely priceless.”

Thompson said he’s constantly amazed by the community’s generosity, with countless individuals, small businesses, and organizations donating their time and money over the years to support Miracle League. Escambia County’s continued partnership and support have also been a huge help for Miracle League, Thompson said.

District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry, who served as Miracle League’s Treasurer for 15 years, said the county is honored to support Miracle League and the positive impact they continue to make in the community.

“Miracle League is a fantastic example of an organization that is changing lives for the better, by providing an opportunity for players of all abilities to feel included and have a place where they belong,” Commissioner Barry said. “I’d like to thank the many volunteers and buddies who

SUNDAY’S

“I just think it’s one of the greatest things you can do, to watch a kid hit a ball, run to second base and then get to run home,” Thompson said. “When we first started, we barely saw a home run – now it’s not uncommon to see them every game. Really and truly, Miracle League is one of the best things I’ve ever been a part of.”

One of the greatest highlights this season was being able to take two players to the World Series in Arlington, Texas, which Thompson said was an unforgettable experience. Another favorite memory was seeing Abigail, a former Miracle League player, begin volunteering as a Miracle League buddy.

“She wore big heavy crutches, and you could just see the struggle to go to first base,” Thompson said. “Here she is running as hard as she can, and her buddy is walking next to her. Now she’s signed up as a buddy and she’s attending college. I just think those kinds of stories are what dreams are made of.”

STATE HOUSE, CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS DRAW CHALLENGE

NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

JIM SAUNDERS

A coalition of groups and residents Thursday filed a federal lawsuit contending that state House and congressional districts in the Miami area and Southwest Florida were unconstitutionally gerrymandered in 2022.

The lawsuit, filed in the federal Southern District of Florida, targets seven state House districts and four congressional districts, all held by Republicans. It alleges that the Legislature racially gerrymandered Hispanic-performing districts.

“These seats form noncompact shapes, connect disparate neighborhoods, and divide established communities,” the lawsuit said. “In drawing these districts, the Florida Legislature subordinated traditional redistricting criteria and state constitutional requirements to race without narrowly tailoring the district lines to advance a compelling government interest. This racial gerrymandering unconstitutionally abridges plaintiffs’ rights to the equal protection of the laws.”

The lawsuit also alleged the Legislature ignored that “South Florida’s Hispanic community is not politically cohesive.”

“Rather, it is nuanced, multifaceted, and diverse with respect to political behavior and preferences,” the lawsuit said. “But in crafting the challenged districts, the Legislature ignored this diversity and assumed that Hispanic voters in South Florida were politically homogenous and monolithic. This assumption was false. The Legislature was not entitled to draw race-based districts based on uninformed assumptions of racial sameness.”

The lawsuit came after a legal challenge was filed last month to two state Senate districts in the Tampa Bay region, also alleging racial gerrymandering. In addition, a two-year battle continues to play out about a North Florida congressional district — with courts, at least so far, upholding the district.

The new case involves state House districts 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 118 and 119, which are held, respectively, by Miami-Dade County Republicans Alex Rizo, Vicki Lopez, Demi Busatta Cabrera, Alina Garcia, Daniel Perez, Mike Redondo and Juan Carlos Porras. All, except Garcia, are running for re-election to the House this year.

The lawsuit also involves Congressional districts 19, 26, 27 and 28, which are held, respectively, by Collier County Republican Byron Donalds and Miami-Dade Republicans Mario Diaz-Balart, Maria Elvira Salazar and Carlos Gimenez. All are seeking re-election this year.

As an example of the issues, the lawsuit said Congressional District 26, held by DiazBalart, “spans from the Gulf of Mexico to Biscayne Bay, and consists of two distinct population centers separated by the unpopulated Everglades.” The district includes residents of Miami-Dade and Collier counties, with the lawsuit alleging that ”the Legislature explicitly drew CD 26 as a coastto-coast district for racial reasons, resulting in one more district than necessary crossing the Miami-Dade County line.”

It also said the shape of Congressional District 26 had a spin-off effect on Congressional District 19, which is held by Donalds. With districts needing similar populations, it said Congressional District 19 “was forced to take on a thin tail dribbling down the Gulf Coast from Fort Myers, splitting Collier County in the process.”

The Republican-controlled Legislature redrew districts in 2022 after the oncea-decade U.S. census. The Legislature controlled the shape of state House and Senate districts, while Gov. Ron DeSantis played a key role in the development of the new congressional map.

In addition to federal constitutional issues, lawmakers also faced requirements under 2010 state constitutional amendments, known as the Fair Districts amendments. One of those requirements, which has drawn heavy attention, says new maps cannot “diminish” the ability of racial minorities “to elect representatives of their choice.”

The lawsuit filed Thursday alleges that gerrymandering violated equal-protection rights under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Attorneys from the ACLU Foundation of Florida and the law firms Vasquez Segarra LLP and O’Melveny & Myers LLP filed the case on behalf of the groups Cubanos Pa’lante, Engage Miami and the FIU ACLU Club and five individual plaintiffs. The named defendants are Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd and the Florida House.

VOUCHERS FOR HOME EDUCATION INCREASE

RYAN DAILEY NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

A state voucher program that began in the 2023-2024 school year is on pace to double in size — at least — as applications roll in from families who educate children at home and are seeking funds to make a range of purchases.

What’s known as the Personalized Education Program provides voucher funds to students who are not enrolled full-time at public or private schools. The program was established through a 2023 law (HB 1) that massively expanded the state’s voucher programs.

The law allowed for the Personalized Education Program to provide vouchers for 20,000 students in its inaugural year, and the program almost hit its cap, with vouchers for 19,514 students funded.

The program is allowed to grow by 40,000 students a year under the law, meaning the maximum capacity would grow in the 20242025 school year to 60,000 students.

As of Thursday, 39,690 applications had been submitted for the coming school year, and 31,991 vouchers had been awarded — with months to go for applications to come in, potentially increasing the number toward the maximum of 60,000.

Step Up for Students, an organization that administers vouchers for the state, will continue to accept applications through the beginning of the school year. More applications come in every day.

Scott Kent, director of media and strategic communications for Step Up for Students, said in an email to The News Service of Florida that not every scholarship that gets awarded ultimately results in money being used. That means the final number of PEP vouchers funded next school year will not become clear for months.

“As with every scholarship program, not every student who is awarded a scholarship uses it,” Kent said.

Money from the Personalized Education Program can be used to purchase such things as instructional materials, virtual education courses, tutoring and contracted services at public schools. It is provided to

DEATH PENALTY ‘GAME OF CHANCE’ TARGETED

DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

A 2023 law that lowered the number of jurors needed to recommend execution has resulted in a “quintessential game of chance” for inmates being resentenced because of changes in the state’s death-penalty process and unconstitutionally “silences Black voices,” groups are arguing in what could be a pivotal Florida Supreme Court case.

The law allowed death sentences to be imposed based on the recommendations of eight of 12 jurors, an easier threshold than a previous requirement of unanimous jury recommendations. The change — prompted by Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz receiving a life sentence after a jury did not unanimously recommend death — gave Florida the lowest death-penalty jury standard in the nation.

Allowing 8-4 recommendations was the latest in a series of changes in the capitalsentencing process after a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court decision in a case known as Hurst v. Florida found the state’s process unconstitutional.

That ruling led the Florida Supreme Court to decide unanimous recommendations were required for death sentences, which the Legislature later enshrined in state law. Justices ordered resentencing for about 150 Death Row inmates who had been sentenced based on non-unanimous jury recommendations.

Amid the resentencings, however, a revamped Florida Supreme Court backed away from the unanimous requirement and paved the way for the 8-4 law, which took effect April 20, 2023.

Michael James Jackson, who was convicted of two 2005 Jacksonville murders, is among about 40 Death Row inmates whose resentencings were pending when the 8-4 law went into effect. A jury voted 8-4 on May 25, 2023, to recommend execution for Jackson, and a judge issued a death sentence in August.

In a friend-of-the-court-brief filed last week in the Jackson case, a coalition of groups argued that the different deathpenalty standards have injected an unconstitutional haphazardness in the resentencing process in cases that were pending when the law changed.

non-unanimous juries operate to exclude the voices of Black jurors, thereby depriving jurors of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment,” the brief said.

The law, “by design,” operates to “prevent up to a third of jurors from having their voices heard,” Belelieu wrote.

“A law that denies jurors the equal right to have their voices heard is patently unconstitutional, and undermines confidence and legitimacy in the judicial process,” the brief said.

Tuesday’s brief also said that jury nonunanimity “has historically been, and continues to function as, a method to disenfranchise Black jurors and to erase their votes in derogation of their constitutional rights.”

Such “racial bias … imperils the legitimacy of the entire judicial process,” Belelieu wrote.

As of March 31, only a fraction — 17 percent — of resentencings decided under the unanimity requirement had resulted in death sentences, according to the brief filed last week. While Jackson was sentenced after an 8-4 recommendation, a jury in January voted 9-3 to recommend death for inmate Bessman Okafor in an Orange County murder, but he will not be sentenced by a judge until June.

The court needs to “rectify the unconstitutional arbitrariness created by this new subset of cases,” Kalmanson wrote. The brief does not seek a ruling on the underlying constitutionality of the 8-4 law but asks the court to “level the playing field for those prisoners who were granted a new penalty phase after Hurst.”

The brief also maintained that disparity in the application of the death-sentencing standards violates constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that this right includes protection against the arbitrary infliction of the death penalty,” Kalmanson wrote. “The procedural roulette that Florida’s Death Row prisoners have been forced to play since Hurst is the epitome of the arbitrariness the Eighth Amendment bars in capital punishment.”

students through what are known as education savings accounts.

Money for the PEP vouchers comes from the longstanding Florida Tax Credit Scholarship program, which provides tax credits to businesses that contribute money for vouchers. Voucher amounts typically range from about $7,000 to $9,000 per student, depending on what counties they live in.

But a notice on the Step Up for Students website said 2024-2025 award amounts will not be finalized until after Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a state budget for the fiscal year that will start July 1. As of Tuesday morning, the Legislature had not formally sent the budget to DeSantis.

A fact sheet on the Florida Department of Education website describes PEP recipients as part of a broader home-education population. It says the PEP program “was created to serve Florida’s home education population who would like access to an education saving account to fund their student’s learning.”

Families whose students receive PEP vouchers have to follow various requirements, such as submitting “student learning plans” each year to Step Up for Students. Parents develop the plans to guide instruction for students and to address needed services, according to the Department of Education fact sheet.

Meanwhile, the overall number of homeschooled students has more than doubled in Florida during the past decade.

DeSantis on Friday posted information on social media that said 77,000 Florida students were homeschooled 10 years ago, compared to 155,000 home-schooled students in 2023.

DeSantis also spoke Thursday at the Florida Homeschool Convention in Orlando, where he touted Florida as the “number one state for home-school in all of these United States.”

“When you think about education and your kids, as a parent, the kids are in many ways an open book. And do you want to turn them over for eight hours a day to some indoctrination factory? Of course not. And so you want to be able to have the choice to be able to direct the education and upbringing of your kids,” DeSantis said.

The groups, including the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Florida Public Defender Association, the Florida Justice Institute, Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty and Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, argued that the 8-4 requirement has been applied “based on chance.”

The resentencing standards hinged on “an arbitrary line-drawing based on the date” the sentencing was finalized, Melanie Kalmanson, an attorney with the Quarles & Brady LLP firm who frequently writes about the death penalty, wrote on behalf of the groups.

“Data on the Hurst resentencing proceedings show that whether a capital defendant was resentenced under Florida’s post-Hurst unanimity statute or the 8-4 statute is the quintessential game of chance,” the brief filed Thursday said.

Jackson’s case — the first direct Florida Supreme Court death-penalty appeal under the 2023 law — also drew a brief Tuesday from groups and Black state lawmakers alleging the 8-4 law unconstitutionally violates equal protection rights of jurors and “silences Black voices.”

Groups signing onto Tuesday’s brief included the NAACP Florida State Conference and Equal Ground Education Fund, Inc., along with five Black state representatives and a former state senator, who are Democrats.

The 2023 law “disproportionately excludes Black jurors’ votes in capital sentencing,” Christopher Belelieu, an attorney with the Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher firm, wrote in the 29-page brief.

“Like systemic state systems of exclusion and racially-tainted peremptory strikes,

The date a death sentence becomes final is dependent on several factors outside of the defendant’s control, the brief filed last week argued. The COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters such as hurricanes and attorneys’ schedules can also slow the process.

Jackson’s case “illustrates this uncertainty,” Kamalson wrote. Jackson was considered the “mastermind” behind the deaths of Reggie and Carol Sumner, a pair of 61-yearolds who were buried alive after being kidnapped from their Jacksonville home. One of Jackson’s codefendants, Alan Wade, was resentenced to life in prison without parole under the unanimity law. Another codefendant, Tiffany Cole, was resentenced to life under the 8-4 requirement.

“Had Mr. Jackson’s resentencing proceeded just months earlier under the unanimity statute, he would have received a different sentence (like Mr. Wade did). Imposing sentences of death based on chance is the antithesis of the protections afforded by the Eighth Amendment and, likewise, article I, section 17, of the Florida Constitution,” Kalmanson argued, referring to part of the Florida Constitution that addresses cruel and unusual punishment.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the Supreme Court had not accepted either of the briefs. Jackson’s case “particularly highlights the sheer arbitrariness of Florida’s death penalty,” Maria DeLiberato, executive director of Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, told The News Service of Florida on Tuesday.

“But for several random acts, including a hurricane, Mr. Jackson’s trial would have proceeded under unanimity,” DeLiberato, an attorney, said. “The Legislature’s 2023 law change, eliminating unanimity, has thrust Florida’s death penalty scheme into chaos. Mr. Jackson has a strong claim that his death sentence is not the product of a lawful, constitutional verdict, but instead is wholly arbitrary and unreliable.”
