Supreme Court of Florida

Edward J. Zakrzewski, Ii, Petitioner v. Julie L. Jones

May 25, 201742 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 615

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Edward J. Zakrzewski II’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that the Hurst decision does not apply retroactively to his death sentences that became final before the Ring decision; Justice Pariente, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but expressed concern about judicial overrides.
