James Aren Duckett v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Duckett's second successive postconviction motion challenging forensic hair-analysis evidence used at his murder and sexual-battery trial. It held that the later reviews did not establish newly discovered evidence likely to produce an acquittal, a Brady violation, a Giglio violation, or cumulative error. The court also noted that a due-process claim raised for the first time on appeal was not preserved.
