& SC13-1065 Harold Blake v. State of Florida and Harold Blake v. Timothy H. Cannon

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Blake's motion for postconviction relief as to his guilt-phase convictions and denied his habeas petition. It held that Blake failed to establish deficient performance and prejudice, a material suppression of favorable evidence, credible newly discovered evidence, or a viable claim that his appellate counsel was ineffective. The court also held that several claims were procedurally barred because they could have been raised on direct appeal. No separate opinions were issued.
