Thomas Anthony Wyatt, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee; Thomas Anthony Wyatt, Petitioner, v. Kenneth S…

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Wyatt's postconviction motions and denied his habeas petition. It held that the evidence offered to challenge McCoombs's testimony did not satisfy the newly discovered evidence standard, that the alleged Brady and Giglio violations were unsupported, and that the later-discredited comparative bullet lead analysis would not probably have produced an acquittal. The court also rejected Wyatt's ineffective-assistance claims concerning penalty-phase mitigation and appellate counsel. No separate opinions were filed.
