Supreme Court of Florida

John Loveman Reese, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

January 4, 2019261 So. 3d 1246

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s denial of Reese’s successive post‑conviction relief, holding that his death sentence, finalized before Ring v. Arizona, is not subject to the retroactive application of Hurst, and that his equal‑protection and Eighth‑Amendment claims lack merit.
