Supreme Court of Florida

An order denying, without an evidentiary hearing, a successive motion for postconviction relief in a death penalty case is affirmed over a claim that the trial court erred in denying claims that: 1) Florida-s method of execution by lethal injection violates his right to be free of cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, and his First Amendment right to free speech; 2) the circuit court erred in denying an evidentiary hearing on his claims arising from his public records requests; and 3) that an ABA report constituted newly discovered evidence against the imposition of the death penalty.
