Truehill v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the order of the circuit court denying Quentin Marcus Truehill's postconviction motion filed pursuant to Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.851 and denied Truehill's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that Truehill was not entitled to relief.
After a jury trial, Truehill was found guilty of first-degree murder and kidnapping. The jury unanimously recommended that true hill be sentenced to death. Truehill timely filed a motion for postconviction relief, which the circuit court denied in its entirety. Truehill appealed and filed a petition for habeas relief. The Supreme Court denied relief, holding (1) the postconviction court did not err in denying Truehill's postconviction claims; and (2) neither of the claims raised in Truehill's petition for a writ of habeas corpus had merit.
