Supreme Court of Florida

Pablo Ibar, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee; Pablo Ibar, Petitioner, v. Julie L. Jones, E — Quince, J…

February 4, 2016190 So. 3d 1012

Summary

Justice Quince dissented from the majority's decision to grant postconviction relief, agreeing that trial counsel performed deficiently but concluding that Ibar failed to establish prejudice. The dissent reasoned that eyewitness testimony, videotape evidence, and the inability of any facial-identification expert to exclude Ibar made a different trial result only conceivable, not reasonably probable. The dissent would have affirmed the denial of Ibar's ineffective-assistance claim.
