Grover B. Reed, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court reversed the post‑conviction court’s denial of Reed’s motion to disqualify Judge Linda McCallum and remanded for a different judge, holding that the motion was timely and legally sufficient. The Court also noted it would not address Reed’s Hurst‑related and Eighth‑Amendment claims. Justice Canada, C.J., concurred in the result but disagreed with the majority’s reliance on the unique aspects of death‑penalty cases.
