Supreme Court of Florida

Alan Lyndell Wade, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

December 11, 201439 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 757

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Wade’s postconviction motion challenging his murder convictions and death sentences. It held that counsel’s challenged guilt-phase, penalty-phase, and jury-selection decisions either were reasonable strategic choices, involved admissible evidence, failed to establish deficient performance, or did not cause prejudice. The court also concluded that Wade failed to show that omitted mitigation or alleged voir dire errors undermined confidence in the outcome.
