Supreme Court of Florida

Jerry William Correll v. State of Florida

October 2, 201540 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 531

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Correll’s successive postconviction motions, rejection of his public-records requests, and denial of his as-applied challenge to Florida’s midazolam-based lethal-injection protocol. It held that his challenges concerning jury voting, prolonged death-row confinement, execution-team identities, and the lethal-injection protocol were foreclosed or unsupported under governing constitutional standards, and that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in denying the records requests. The court also lifted the stay of execution.
