Dennis Sochor v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Sochor's sixth successive postconviction motion insofar as he challenged Florida's three-drug lethal-injection protocol. It held that the challenge was untimely because the asserted evidence had been discoverable for years, and independently concluded that the challenge lacked merit because Florida's etomidate protocol had repeatedly been upheld. The court also denied a stay of execution and directed that the mandate issue immediately.
