Granville Ritchie v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed Ritchie's convictions and sentences, including the death sentence. It held that several penalty-phase prosecutorial comments were improper, but the claims were unpreserved and the cumulative effect did not constitute fundamental error in light of the substantial aggravation, minimal mitigation, jury instructions, and overall record. The court also rejected Ritchie's victim-impact and mitigation-video challenges. No separate opinion is included in the record provided.
