Tavares J. Wright, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Summary

On remand from a federal vacatur order, the court reconsidered whether intervening intellectual-disability precedent required a different result in Wright's capital postconviction proceeding. The court held that the intervening decision did not alter the outcome because the lower court applied current medical standards, properly accounted for the standard error of measurement, and relied on competent, substantial evidence supporting its findings that Wright failed to prove the intellectual-functioning and adaptive-functioning prongs. The court therefore reaffirmed the denial of Wright's intellectual-disability claim.
