William Frances Silvia, Appellant(s) v. State of Florida, Appellee(s)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the trial court’s order dismissing William Frances Silvia’s post‑conviction proceedings and discharging his counsel. The Court found that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that Silvia was competent and that his waiver of post‑conviction counsel was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary.
