Gregory David Larkin, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Larkin’s two first-degree murder convictions and death sentences. It held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by allowing Larkin to continue representing himself during competency proceedings because the evidence did not create a reasonable doubt about his competence, rejected his constitutional challenge to Florida’s capital-sentencing scheme, and found competent, substantial evidence supporting the convictions and proportionate aggravation supporting the death sentences.
