Supreme Court of Florida
Morgan v. State
March 18, 1982415 So. 2d 6
Summary
The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed Floyd Morgan's conviction for first‑degree murder and his death sentence. The Court held that the trial court had not erred in the certification of the record, denial of a pro se motion to discharge the indictment, admission of a confession, jury selection, cross‑examination limitations, denial of a request to reopen closing argument, and the constitutionality and application of the capital sentencing statute. The Court also rejected Morgan's arguments that prior indictment evidence violated aggravating‑circumstance rules.
