Rory Enrique Conde, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the post‑conviction court’s denial of Rory E. Conde’s Rule 8.851 motion to vacate his death sentence, holding that he failed to satisfy the Strickland prejudice requirement on each alleged ineffective‑assistance claim and that his other constitutional challenges were procedurally barred. The Court also declined to address his expert‑testimony claim because the prejudice prong resolved the issue.
