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

Summary

Justice Pariente concurs in the Court’s affirmation of Zakrzewski’s death sentences but argues that the judicial‑override practice is unconstitutional under the Sixth Amendment and the Florida Constitution and should be revisited in light of Hurst and Ring. He urges that the Court grant relief on the basis that the override violated the jury’s essential role in capital sentencing.
