Supreme Court of Florida

Cary Michael Lambrix, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

April 15, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 211

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Lambrix's successive motion for postconviction relief. It upheld the findings that no sexual relationship or undisclosed plea agreement existed between the State's investigator and a key witness, that another witness's later statements did not constitute a reliable recantation warranting a new trial, and that Lambrix was not entitled to relief on his hearing, judicial-bias, or actual-innocence claims. The court also held that the alleged undisclosed evidence would not have been material because it would not undermine confidence in the verdict.
