Supreme Court of Florida

Andrew Richard Lukehart v. State of Florida

November 8, 201237 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 677

Summary

The Court affirmed the summary denial of Lukehart's successive capital postconviction motion concerning medication used during trial. It held that the motion was governed by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851 and was untimely because the relevant facts were discoverable by due diligence no later than the 2007 evidentiary hearing. The Court therefore did not reach the merits of the medication-related claims. No separate opinions were filed.
