Grover B. Reed v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Reed’s successive postconviction motion seeking relief from his death sentence based on Hurst-related jury-trial claims. It held that no Hurst error occurred because the jury’s guilty verdicts for sexual battery and robbery established two statutory aggravating circumstances beyond a reasonable doubt, and the jury was not required to weigh aggravating and mitigating circumstances or make the ultimate sentencing decision.
