Supreme Court of Florida
Cecil Shyron King, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.
December 20, 2018260 So. 3d 985
Summary
The court affirmed the postconviction order denying all of King's guilt-phase ineffective-assistance and cumulative-error claims. It held that counsel's challenged decisions were reasonable trial strategy, involved no deficient performance, caused no legally sufficient prejudice, or both. The court also affirmed the vacatur of King's death sentence and the order requiring a new penalty phase under the governing capital-sentencing decision.
