Supreme Court of Florida

Jeffrey G. Hutchinson v. State of Florida & Jeffrey G. Hutchinson v. Secretary, Department of Corrections

April 25, 2025416 So. 3d 273

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Hutchinson's fourth successive postconviction motion and denied his habeas petition, stay request, and request for oral argument. It held that his records requests, due-process challenges to the warrant-period procedures, constitutional challenges to warrant selection and sentencing, access-to-court claim, Atkins-based claim, and procedural-gateway argument were either procedurally barred, legally insufficient, or foreclosed by precedent. The court also rejected his challenge to the HAC aggravator, emphasizing that the claim was untimely and would not affect two of the three death sentences.
