Donald William Dufour, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee — Pariente, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting In…

Summary

Justice Pariente, concurring in part and dissenting in part, argues that the trial court erred in both its IQ assessment and its evaluation of adaptive functioning, and that the cause of adaptive deficits should not be required. She urges remand for a new trial‑court analysis using proper legal standards, disagreeing with the majority’s affirmation based on adaptive behavior findings.
