Mark A. Twilegar, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s denial of Twilegar’s post‑conviction motion to vacate his first‑degree murder conviction and death sentence. The Court held that trial counsel’s performance was not constitutionally deficient, that Twilegar failed to demonstrate prejudice, and that his public‑records claim was meritless because he did not show a denial of records relevant to a colorable claim.
