Supreme Court of Florida

Robin Lee Archer v. State of Florida

April 23, 2020293 So. 3d 455

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Archer’s successive post-conviction motion challenging his death sentence. It held that the Hurst-related claim was procedurally barred and alternatively meritless, rejected the claim that capital murder required additional elements beyond those established at trial, and concluded that the codefendant’s later release did not constitute timely newly discovered evidence warranting relief.
