Wall v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the circuit court granting Defendant's motion to dismiss postconviction counsel and proceedings, filed pursuant to Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.851, holding that the circuit court properly accepted Defendant's waiver.
Defendant was sentenced to death of the murders of his infant son and the child's mother. Eight years later, Capital Collateral Regional Counsel (CCRC) was appointed to represent Defendant in postconviction proceedings. Defendant filed a pro se motion to monitor and remove CCRC counsel and to waive postconviction counsel and proceedings. The court found that Defendant's waiver of postconviction counsel and proceedings was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary and orally accepted Defendant's waiver. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the postconviction court did not err in concluding that Defendant was competent to waive postconviction counsel and proceedings.
