Johnny Shane Kormondy, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Kormondy's successive post-conviction motion. It held that affidavits reporting prison inmates' accounts of Buffkin's alleged confessions were procedurally deficient and, even if considered, would not probably produce an acquittal or a less severe sentence because the trial and post-conviction record continued to establish Kormondy's responsibility for the shooting. The court also held that ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel is not cognizable in a state post-conviction proceeding. No separate opinions were filed.
