Supreme Court of Florida
Duckett v. State
October 6, 2005918 So. 2d 224
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court's denial of James Duckett's post‑conviction relief under Rule 3.850 and denied his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The Court rejected Duckett's claims of recanted testimony, ineffective assistance, Brady violations, improper DNA‑testing scope, and alleged constitutional violations, finding the procedural bars and lack of prejudice precluded relief.
