Paul Glen Everett v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Everett’s motion for postconviction DNA testing. It held that the motion was inadequately pleaded because Everett alleged only that testing could produce an acquittal or lesser offense, rather than that it would do so, and that the requested testing could not reasonably produce either result given his admissions, trial defense, and the evidence presented at trial. The court also held that claims and evidence not introduced at trial could not be used to establish the required reasonable probability of a different outcome.
