Chadwick Willacy v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Willacy’s successive postconviction motion challenging the prosecutor’s peremptory strike of a juror on allegedly racial grounds. It held that the claim was procedurally barred because it had been litigated previously and was also untimely because the intervening Supreme Court decision did not establish a new retroactive constitutional right. The court concluded that Willacy was not entitled to relief.
