Supreme Court of Florida
Troy Merck, Jr., Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.
December 28, 2018260 So. 3d 184
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Merck’s successive postconviction motion challenging his murder conviction through Giglio, Brady, and newly discovered evidence claims. The court held that the postconviction court’s factual findings were supported by competent, substantial evidence, and that the evidence did not establish false testimony, suppression of materially favorable evidence, or a reasonable probability of acquittal on retrial.
