Supreme Court of Florida

Cary Michael Lambrix v. State of Florida, Appellee Cary Michael Lambrix v. State of Florida, Respondent Cary Michael…

June 27, 2013124 So. 3d 890

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Lambrix's fourth and fifth successive postconviction motions and denied his petition for a writ of prohibition. It held that the proposed hair testing and related records did not satisfy the requirements for DNA testing, newly discovered evidence, or disclosure violations, and that the alleged mitigation evidence was untimely, procedurally barred, and unlikely to change the sentence. The court also upheld denial of judicial disqualification and self-representation because the record did not support disqualification and Lambrix's conduct and the interests of reliable capital-case administration justified continued representation by counsel.
