Johnny Mack Sketo Calhoun v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Calhoun’s successive postconviction motion because the circuit court’s finding that the alleged jailhouse confession did not occur was supported by competent, substantial evidence, defeating the newly discovered evidence claim. It also affirmed the denial of Calhoun’s request for additional prison records because he unjustifiably delayed seeking them and the postconviction proceeding had already concluded. The opinion did not decide whether the alleged confession testimony would have been admissible.
