Eriese Alphonso Tisdale, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Summary

The court affirmed Tisdale's convictions and the sentences for his lesser offenses but vacated his death sentence. Because the penalty-phase jury recommended death by a nonunanimous vote, the court held that the capital sentence could not be sustained and remanded for a new penalty phase. The court rejected Tisdale's claims that double jeopardy or the statutory commutation provision required a life sentence.
