Gary Ray Bowles v. State of Florida and Gary Ray Bowles v. Mark S. Inch

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Bowles’s successive postconviction motion, denied his habeas petition, and denied his requests to stay execution. It held that his first-time intellectual-disability claim was untimely, that the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion in denying additional records requests, and that national death-penalty trends could not establish that capital punishment is categorically cruel and unusual.
