Supreme Court of Florida
Todd Zommer, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee; Todd Zommer, Petitioner, v. Julie L. Jones
January 15, 2015160 So. 3d 368
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Zommer’s initial postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It held that counsel’s decisions concerning a psychotropic-medication instruction and the presentation of mental-health testimony were reasonable strategic choices, and that Zommer failed to establish prejudice. The court also rejected or barred his capital-sentencing, cumulative-error, appellate-ineffectiveness, and competency-at-execution claims. No separate opinions were filed.
