Lionel Michael Miller, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee; Lionel Michael Miller, Petitioner, v. Julie L…

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Miller’s postconviction motion and denied habeas relief. It held that counsel performed deficiently by listing a confidential defense expert without adequately assessing the damaging consequences, but Miller failed to establish prejudice, and it rejected his remaining ineffective-assistance, disclosure, conflict-of-interest, sentencing, and future-incompetency claims. The court also held that several claims were procedurally barred or not ripe. No separate opinions were filed.
