Brandon Lee Bradley, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Bradley’s convictions because the guilt-phase errors, if any, were harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence, including the patrol-car video and Bradley’s confession. It vacated the death sentence and remanded for a new penalty phase because the nonunanimous jury did not make the constitutionally required unanimous findings concerning aggravation, mitigation, and the appropriateness of death. The court did not reach Bradley’s remaining penalty-phase claims or proportionality challenge.
