Supreme Court of Florida

Andrew Richard Allred, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

January 14, 201641 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 5

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Allred’s initial postconviction motion after an evidentiary hearing. It held that counsel’s decisions concerning mental-health evidence, the guilty plea, venue, jury waiver, mitigation investigation, and trial-consultant services did not establish deficient performance or prejudice, and it rejected the cumulative-error and constitutional challenges. No separate opinions were filed.
