Victor Tony Jones v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Jones’s fourth successive postconviction motion seeking a new intellectual-disability determination and denied relief based on the later sentencing decision. Although the intervening constitutional rule could affect the assessment of IQ scores, Jones had already received a full opportunity to present evidence on all three intellectual-disability prongs and had failed to establish the adaptive-deficits and onset requirements. His sentences were final before the relevant retroactivity cutoff, so he was not entitled to resentencing relief.
