Supreme Court of Florida

William Gregory Thomas v. State of Florida

December 28, 2018

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Thomas’s second successive postconviction motion alleging that the State withheld favorable evidence and presented or failed to correct false testimony concerning two incarcerated witnesses. It held that the claims were procedurally barred because the evidence was not newly discovered and, alternatively, that Thomas failed to establish the required materiality for either type of claim.
