Supreme Court of Florida

Bryan Fredrick Jennings, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

October 4, 2018265 So. 3d 460

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the post‑conviction court’s denial of Jennings’ Rule 3.851 motion, holding that the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Hurst does not apply retroactively to his death sentence and that the substitution of judges between the denial of his motion and his rehearing did not violate due process because he received fair notice and a meaningful opportunity to be heard.
