Ray Jackson, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Jackson’s postconviction motion and his request for DNA testing. It held that counsel’s challenged investigation, trial strategy, penalty-phase presentation, closing argument, voir dire, severance decisions, impeachment choices, and handling of prison-releasee-reoffender evidence either were reasonable or did not establish prejudice, and that the DNA motion did not show how testing could exonerate him or mitigate his sentence.
