Quentin Marcus Truehill v. State of Florida & Quentin Marcus Truehill v. Ricky D. Dixon

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Truehill’s postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition. It held that his ineffective-assistance claims failed because counsel’s challenged decisions were reasonable or caused no prejudice, his Giglio and newly discovered evidence claims lacked the required showings, and his claims denied an evidentiary hearing were meritless or procedurally barred. The court also rejected his ineffective-assistance-of-appellate-counsel and proportionality claims.
