Supreme Court of Florida

Willie Seth Crain, Jr., Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

April 5, 2018246 So. 3d 206

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Crain's successive postconviction motion, holding that any Hurst error in his capital sentencing was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. The jury's unanimous recommendation of death, together with the continuing validity of the kidnapping aggravating factor underlying the felony-murder conviction, established that the sentencing error did not affect the outcome.
