WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that Florida's unique system for sentencing people to death is unconstitutional because it gives too much power to judges — and not enough to juries — to decide capital sentences.

The 8-1 ruling said that the state's sentencing procedure is flawed because juries play only an advisory role in recommending death while the judge can reach a different decision.

The decision could trigger new sentencing appeals from some of the 390 inmates on the Florida's death row, a number second only to California.
