Marvin Cannon v. State of Florida & Marvin Cannon v. Mark S. Inch

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Cannon's guilt-phase postconviction claims and denied his habeas petition. It held that Cannon failed to establish ineffective assistance based on allegedly biased jurors, the officer's identification testimony, the prosecutor's closing argument, or religious references, and that his challenge to peremptory strikes was procedurally barred because trial counsel did not renew the objection before the jury was sworn. The court also affirmed denial of relief concerning an allegedly inaccurate Department of Corrections website entry, without prejudice to pursuing appropriate administrative or other relief.
