Supreme Court of Florida

William James Deparvine, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee. William James Deparvine, Petitioner, v. Michael…

April 24, 2014146 So. 3d 1071

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Deparvine's initial postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It held that none of the alleged deficiencies by trial or appellate counsel satisfied the applicable performance-and-prejudice standards, and that the remaining constitutional, newly discovered evidence, due process, hearsay, sentencing, and cumulative-error claims were procedurally barred, meritless, or harmless. The court also concluded that the evidence concerning the truck's later sale did not undermine the convictions or sentences.
