Robert Lee Hobart, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Hobart’s two first-degree murder convictions, life sentence for one murder, and death sentence for the other. It held that competent, substantial evidence supported premeditation and felony murder theories, the robbery aggravator, and rejection of the extreme-mental-or-emotional-disturbance mitigator; it also found the death sentence proportionate and rejected the constitutional challenge based on the prior-violent-felony aggravator.
