Fuente v. State

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed Hector Fuente's first‑degree murder conviction, vacated his death sentence because the jury’s override was improper given the disparate treatment of co‑perpetrators, and remanded for a life‑without‑parole‑for‑25‑years sentence; it also upheld the denial of his discharge motion, found any error on a witness‑immunity issue harmless, and rejected his double‑jeopardy claim.
