& SC13-2422 Gerhard Hojan v. State of Florida and Gerhard Hojan v. Julie L. Jones

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Hojan's initial postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It held that the record conclusively refuted or procedurally barred his claims concerning jury selection, counsel's performance, public records, newly discovered forensic evidence, juror interviews, and lethal injection. The court also held that appellate counsel was not ineffective because the omitted appellate issues would have been unpreserved or meritless.
