Supreme Court of Florida

& SC12-2522 Gary Richard Whitton v. State of Florida & Gary Richard Whitton v. Michael D. Crews

April 2, 2015

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Whitton’s postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It held that Whitton failed to establish any Brady or Giglio violation, ineffective assistance of trial or appellate counsel, prejudicial juror communication, deficient mitigation investigation, or cumulative error. The court concluded that the alleged errors were unsupported, procedurally barred, waived, harmless, or insufficient to undermine confidence in the verdict or sentence.
