Jesse Bell v. State of Florida

Summary

The court affirmed the summary denial of Bell's postconviction motion and denied habeas relief. It held that Bell's challenges to the voluntariness of his waivers and to individualized sentencing were procedurally barred, that his trial-counsel ineffective-assistance claim failed for lack of deficient performance and prejudice, and that appellate counsel was not ineffective for omitting an unpreserved, nonfundamental first-appearance delay claim.
