Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Florida
On death penalty the law reads as....Protection 18. (1) No person shall be deprived of his or her life intentionally of right to life except in the execution of a sentence of death imposed by a
court of competent jurisdiction in respect of a criminal
offence for which the penalty is death under the Laws of
The Gambia as they have effect in accordance with
subsection (2) and of which he or she has been lawfully
convicted.
(2) As from the coming into force of this Constitution, no court in The Gambia shall be competent to impose a sentence of death for any offence unless the sentence is prescribed by law and the offence involves violence, or the administration of any toxic substance, resulting in the death of another person.
(3) The National Assembly shall within ten years from the date of the coming into force of this Constitution review the desirability or otherwise of the total abolition of the death penalty in The Gambia
In the event the National Assembly fails to honour the provisions of subsection 3 and yet a president carries out death penalty, what is the position of law as regards the executions of death penalty and the above provisions

Your question is about the laws of Gambia, but you posted it as if it concerned the laws of Florida (which is one of the United States). I doubt anyone who reads it will know how to answer it. You should look for a way to present it to Gambian lawyers instead.
