Jeffrey Glenn Hutchinson, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Hutchinson's successive postconviction motion challenging his death sentences under the post-Hurst jury-trial framework. It held that counsel was not ineffective for advising Hutchinson to waive a penalty-phase jury under the law then in effect, and that a knowing, intelligent, and voluntary waiver precluded Hurst relief. The court also concluded that the record conclusively showed Hutchinson was entitled to no relief without an evidentiary hearing.
