Jesse Guardado v. State of Florida - Revised Opinion

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of postconviction relief, holding that Guardado failed to establish either deficient performance or prejudice under his ineffective-assistance claims. The court rejected claims concerning mitigation investigation, failure to expand the investigation, and jury selection because the omitted evidence was cumulative or unsupported and the challenged juror objections would not have succeeded, while the seated jurors were not shown to be actually biased.
