Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Palm Beach Circuit Judge Renatha Francis to the Florida Supreme Court, ignoring documented incidents that call into question her fitness to serve on the state’s most powerful tribunal.
As of Sept. 1, Francis, 45, will be the first Jamaican-American on the Tallahassee court. With her appointment, DeSantis will have named a majority of the seven justices, all but one of whom are far-right conservatives. She replaces Justice Alan Lawson, who will retire on Aug. 31.
