Supreme Court of Florida

Howard Steven Ault, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee — Quince, J., Dissenting

September 30, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 527

Justice Quince dissents, arguing that the trial court’s capital sentencing order failed to evaluate all proposed mitigating circumstances and therefore should be vacated and remanded for a new sentencing order. The dissent emphasizes the need for a thorough, evidence‑based mitigation analysis to permit meaningful appellate review.
