Tina Lasonya Brown, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Brown's first-degree murder conviction and death sentence. It held that competent, substantial evidence supported the cold, calculated, and premeditated aggravating circumstance despite Brown's anger and cocaine use, that the death sentence was proportionate, and that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction. The court also rejected Brown's constitutional challenge to Florida's capital sentencing scheme because the jury unanimously recommended death.
