Marvin Cannon, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Cannon’s convictions for first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, robbery, and arson, and affirmed his death sentence. It held that the aggravating circumstances were properly applied, the evidence supported the murder, robbery, and arson convictions, the challenged hearsay was harmless and nontestimonial, and the jury-question response was not an abuse of discretion. The court vacated Cannon’s attempted robbery conviction because the evidence that he stabbed Neel did not establish an intent to rob him.
