Supreme Court of Florida

William Kenneth Taylor, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

April 5, 2018246 So. 3d 204

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the denial of William Taylor's successive post‑conviction motion to vacate his death sentence. The Court held that any error under Hurst was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt and that his Eighth Amendment claim was procedurally barred, so the death sentence remains in effect.
