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.
