David Joseph Pittman v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Pittman's fourth successive postconviction motion and denied his motion to stay execution. It held that his intellectual-disability claim was untimely and procedurally barred, that controlling precedent foreclosed his retroactivity argument, and that he had received all process required. The court also rejected his claim that adherence to the governing retroactivity rule made the death penalty arbitrary or unconstitutional.
