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

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the post‑conviction court’s denial of Hall’s motion to vacate his murder conviction and death sentence and denied his petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that none of his alleged ineffective‑assistance or constitutional claims met the Strickland standard and that any Hurst error was harmless. Justice Quince, however, concurred in part and dissented in part, arguing that the Hurst error was not harmless and that the habeas petition should be granted.
