Quince v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s order summarily denying Appellant’s renewed motion for a determination of intellectual disability as a bar to execution filed under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.203 and Fla. Stat. 921.137.
Appellant pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and burglary of a dwelling and was sentenced to death. Appellant filed a successive motion for postconviction relief seeking to vacate his death sentence on the ground that he was intellectually disabled and therefore ineligible for the death penalty. The trial court denied the motion. After the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Hall v. Florida, 572 U.S. __ (2014), Appellant filed a renewed motion for a determination of intellectual disability as a bar to execution. The trial court concluded that Appellant failed to prove that he was intellectually disabled. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant was not entitled to relief on any of his claims.
