Raymond Bright v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed Bright’s two death sentences after rejecting all five claims raised on appeal. It held that the penalty-phase instructions were adequate, the unpreserved prosecutorial comments did not constitute fundamental error, competent substantial evidence supported the HAC aggravator, the trial court acted within its discretion regarding mitigation, and the sentences were proportionate. Justice Labarga concurred in the result, but no separate opinion is provided.
