Billy Jim Sheppard, Jr., Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee — Pariente, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Pariente concurs in affirming the convictions and death sentence, but disagrees with the majority’s hearsay analysis of a co‑defendant’s out‑of‑court statement and reiterates concern over admitting a detective’s opinion of guilt. She argues the statement was classic hearsay and should have been excluded, though she finds any error harmless, and cautions against future admission of such interrogation evidence.
