Supreme Court of Florida

Antonio Lebaron Melton v. State of Florida

May 4, 2023367 So. 3d 1175

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Melton’s sixth successive postconviction motion. It held that his motion was untimely because the scientific materials relied on information discoverable through due diligence years earlier, and it rejected his request to extend the categorical death-penalty bar for offenders under eighteen to offenders under twenty-one. No separate opinions were filed.
