Supreme Court of Florida
William Earl Sweet, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.
May 24, 2018248 So. 3d 1060
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Sweet's sixth successive postconviction motion based on allegedly newly discovered evidence. It held that the arrest record was properly admitted or, at most, harmless, that the postconviction court's credibility findings were supported by competent, substantial evidence, and that the court correctly applied the newly discovered evidence standard. The court concluded that the evidence, considered cumulatively with the evidence presented in earlier proceedings, would not probably produce a different result at a new trial.
