State of Florida, Appellant, Cross-Appellee v. Raymond Morrison, Jr., Appellee, Cross-Appellant.

Summary

The court reversed the order granting Morrison a new guilt phase because the alleged failures concerning his police statement and guilt-phase investigation did not establish a reasonable probability of a different result. It affirmed the order granting a new penalty phase because counsel's failure to investigate Morrison's mental health and social history constituted deficient performance and prejudiced the sentencing determination, and it affirmed denial of Morrison's remaining claims, including his Brady, newly discovered evidence, intellectual disability, and guilt-phase cumulative-error claims. Pariente, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part, would have granted a new evidentiary hearing on intellectual disability.
