Paul Beasley Johnson, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court vacated Paul Beasley Johnson's death sentences because the jury did not unanimously find the facts required under Ring and Hurst, held the error was not harmless, and remanded for a new penalty phase; Justice Perry, concurring in part and dissenting in part, argued the legislature’s statute mandates a life sentence on remand.
