Lucious Boyd v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Boyd’s successive postconviction motion and alternative motion to correct an illegal sentence. It held that Boyd’s claims were procedurally barred and, independently, that the record showed no constitutional sentencing error because the jury unanimously found him guilty of contemporaneous offenses establishing a statutory aggravating circumstance. The court therefore concluded that the jury made the constitutionally required death-eligibility finding.
