Supreme Court of Florida

Denial of a motion for postconviction relief in a capital murder case is affirmed over a claim that Florida's capital sentencing scheme is unconstitutional under the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Ring v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 584 (2002), and a trial court finding that defendant is not mentally retarded is affirmed where competent, substantial evidence supported the finding.
