Seeking to capitalize Bush v. Gore

ODPI has lots and lots of good stuff these days, and perhaps nothing more bemusing than this AP report from Florida:

An attorney hopes the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that decided the 2000 presidential election will help persuade a judge to keep his client from being executed for two murders he is charged with. David Brener cited the Bush vs. Gore case in a motion last week asking the judge to eliminate the possibility of the death penalty because of inconsistencies in the way different state attorneys decide to seek the sentence.

In the 2000 Bush vs. Gore case, Brener noted, the U.S. Supreme Court criticized counties that had different standards for recounts and deciding what a legal vote was.  He contends that standards for the death penalty are just as inconsistent.
