Supreme Court of Florida

Quawn M. Franklin v. Michael D. Crews

January 16, 2014

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Franklin's postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It upheld the finding that Franklin was competent to participate in collateral proceedings, rejected his ineffective-assistance claims because counsel was not deficient or no prejudice was shown, and concluded that his execution-related constitutional claims were either previously rejected on materially identical allegations or were not ripe.
