Supreme Court of Florida

Harold Blake, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee; Harold Blake, Petitioner, v. Timothy H. Cannon

December 4, 2014180 So. 3d 89

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Blake's request for a new guilt-phase trial and denied his habeas petition. It held that Blake failed to establish deficient performance and prejudice, suppression or materiality under his disclosure claims, credible newly discovered evidence, or a viable constitutional mental-health claim, and that several habeas claims were procedurally inappropriate. The court also upheld the denial of motions concerning prosecutor disqualification, discovery, and sanctions. No separate opinions were filed.
