Davis v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant was the Appellant in two separate death penalty direct appeals. In the present case, Appellant was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, and one count each of attempted armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Appellant was sentenced to death for both of the murders. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s judgments of conviction and sentences of death, holding (1) the trial court did not commit prejudicial error in its rulings; (2) the evidence was sufficient to support Appellant’s attempted robbery conviction; (3) Appellant’s death sentences were proportionate; and (4) the Florida death penalty statutory scheme is facially constitutional under Ring v. Arizona.
