Supreme Court of Florida

Dwight T. Eaglin, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee; Dwight T. Eaglin, Petitioner, v. Julie L. Jones

June 25, 2015176 So. 3d 900

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Eaglin's initial postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It held that Eaglin failed to establish ineffective assistance during the penalty phase or guilt phase, that the record refuted his claims concerning inconsistent prosecution theories and suppressed evidence, and that appellate counsel was not ineffective for omitting a meritless conflict-of-interest claim. There were no separate opinions.
