Supreme Court of Florida

Leon Davis, Jr. v. State of Florida & Leon Davis, Jr. v. Ricky D. Dixon

February 1, 2024

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Davis's initial motion for postconviction relief and denied his habeas petition. It held that the alleged false testimony and suppressed personnel-file evidence were not material or prejudicial, counsel was not ineffective in challenging the firearms, video, search, or identification evidence, and Davis was not entitled to a competency evaluation. The court also rejected the claim that appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to challenge the trial court's use of prior convictions. No separate opinions were filed.
