James Guzman, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Summary

The court affirmed Guzman's convictions for first-degree murder and armed robbery after rejecting his challenges to several juror removals, the State's peremptory strike, the jury-panel ruling, and the sufficiency of the evidence. It vacated the death sentence because the jury's eleven-to-one death recommendation did not establish the unanimity required for the necessary capital-sentencing findings, and the State could not prove the error harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. No separate opinion is included.
