Supreme Court of Florida

Javier Dejesus Ventura, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent — Canady, J., Dissenting

February 18, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 117

Summary

Justice Canady dissented from the majority’s decision to quash and remand the district court’s decision. He would have discharged jurisdiction on both the Yisrael issue and the harmless-error issue because the district court expressly stated the correct harmless-error standard and its reference to overwhelming evidence did not show that it applied an incorrect test. Justice Polston joined the dissent.
