Supreme Court of Florida

Rodney Renard Newberry, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee

April 6, 201742 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 440

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed Newberry’s conviction for first-degree premeditated and felony murder, found the evidence sufficient, but vacated his death sentence because the jury’s 8‑4 recommendation violated Hurst and the error was not harmless, remanding for a new penalty phase.
