SC19-1356 Ken Eldon Lott v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Lott’s successive motion for postconviction relief. It held that his unanimous jury findings established at least one statutory aggravating circumstance beyond a reasonable doubt, foreclosing relief on his jury-trial sentencing claim, and that his challenge to the indictment was procedurally barred and meritless. The court also concluded that aggravating circumstances need not be alleged in the indictment.
