Cary Michael Lambrix, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s denial of Lambrix’s eighth successive post‑conviction motion, holding that he is not entitled to relief based on Hurst or related decisions and that the new unanimity statute does not apply retroactively. Justice Pariente dissented, arguing that Lambrix should receive a new penalty phase because the non‑unanimous jury recommendations violate the Sixth and Eighth Amendments.
