Chadwick Banks v. State of Florida

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s denial of Chadwick Banks’ second successive post‑conviction relief motion and its objections to his public‑records requests, and denied his motion for a stay of execution. The Court held that Banks’ ineffective‑assistance claim is foreclosed, his Eighth Amendment lethal‑injection challenge fails under the Baze standard, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the records requests.
