Supreme Court of Florida

A judgment imposing a sentence of death on defendant upon resentencing is affirmed over claims that the trial court erred in: 1) overruling an objection to the use of a peremptory challenge to an African-American juror; 2) limiting defendant's voir dire examination regarding the potential jurors' ability to consider "gory photographs" in evidence; 3) failing to give the requested limiting instruction on victim impact evidence at the time of introduction; 4) denying defendant's requested jury instructions; 5) including improper aggravating circumstances but excluding mitigating circumstances. Claim that Florida's capital sentencing process is unconstitutional is also without merit.
