Adam Lloyd Shepard, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent. — Pariente, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Pariente dissents, arguing that the majority’s broad definition of “weapon” under Florida’s reclassification statute departs from the Court’s precedent in State v. Houck and should require a finding of intent to inflict harm; the dissent would quash the reclassification and order a retrial on intent.
