Supreme Court of Florida

Dana Williamson v. State of Florida

January 9, 2014

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of postconviction relief on two ineffective-assistance claims concerning counsel's handling of expert testimony and a requested curative instruction. Without deciding whether counsel performed deficiently, the court held that Williamson failed to establish prejudice because the remaining evidence, considered in its totality, did not create a reasonable probability that the outcome would have been different.
