Supreme Court of Florida

An order denying defendant's successive motion to vacate a conviction for murder and a death sentence, and an order concluding that he is not mentally retarded, are affirmed over claims that: 1) the court erred in concluding that the second prong of the definition of mental retardation requires a current assessment of adaptive functioning; and 2) the trial court erred in concluding that defendant is not mentally retarded.
