James Warmington, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent — Perry, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Perry dissents from the Florida Supreme Court’s majority, arguing that the Court lacks discretionary‑review jurisdiction because Warmington does not expressly and directly conflict with any prior appellate decisions, and that the trial court’s admission of detective testimony was not error or, if error, was harmless. He maintains that the State met its burden of proof and that no impermissible burden‑shifting occurred.
