Supreme Court of Florida


Tompkins v. State of Florida, SC06-277

In a death penalty case, an order denying prisoner's second successive motion for postconviction relief is affirmed where the circuit court did not err in summarily denying a claim that new information that impeaches a portion of an important witness's trial testimony required reversal of the conviction and sentence of death.
