Supreme Court of Florida

Alan Lyndell Wade, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee — Pariente, J., Concurring

May 6, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 239

Summary

Justice Pariente concurring affirmed the defendants' convictions while expressing concern about two prosecutor closing‑argument tactics: portraying a life‑sentence recommendation as an “easy way out” and using an emotionally charged appeal that placed jurors in the victims’ position. He reiterates that prosecutors must avoid improper, inflammatory arguments even in capital cases.
