Puiatti v. State

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the first‑degree murder, kidnapping and robbery convictions and death sentences of Carl Puiatti and Robert Glock, holding that the trial court correctly denied motions to sever the trials, properly admitted interlocking confessions, correctly excluded jurors opposed to the death penalty, properly found the aggravating circumstance of a cold, calculated murder, properly considered mitigating evidence, and validly received the jury's sentencing recommendation on a Sunday.
