Supreme Court of Florida
Rasheem Diquoine Dubose, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee
February 9, 201742 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 143
Summary
The court affirmed Dubose’s convictions, rejecting challenges based on juror misconduct, evidentiary sufficiency, venue, and cumulative error. It held that any improper inquiry into jurors’ thought processes was harmless and that the evidence supported both premeditated and felony-murder theories. Because the death recommendation was nonunanimous under the governing capital-sentencing requirements, the court vacated the death sentence and remanded for a new penalty phase.
