Supreme Court of Florida

Enoch D. Hall, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee; Enoch D. Hall, Petitioner, v. Julie L. Jones

February 9, 2017212 So. 3d 1001

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the post‑conviction court’s denial of Hall’s motion to vacate his conviction and sentence and denied his habeas corpus petition, holding that none of his ineffective‑assistance, cumulative‑error, or appellate‑counsel claims met the Strickland standard and that the Hurst error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Justice QUINCE, dissenting, would have found the Hurst error harmful and granted relief.
