Troy Victorino v. State of Florida, Appellee Troy Victorino v. Michael D. Crews

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Victorino’s postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It held that counsel’s failure to challenge a codefendant’s refusal to answer cross-examination questions was deficient, but the error did not prejudice Victorino because the testimony was cumulative and the remaining evidence was overwhelming; the other ineffective-assistance claims, the sentencing challenge, and the appellate-counsel claim also failed. No separate opinions were filed.
