James Aren Duckett, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Duckett's successive motion for postconviction relief. It held that the newly discovered review of the hair-analysis evidence did not undermine confidence in the verdict, that the asserted retroactivity of the capital-sentencing precedent did not warrant relief, that the witness-recantation claim was procedurally deficient and previously resolved, and that the challenge to the perjury statute was untimely and procedurally barred.
