JULIE L. JONES, SECRETARY, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS. STEVEN ANTHONY COZZIE V. FLORIDA.

U.S. | 2018-04-02
Nos. 17–7171; 17–7545.
138 S. Ct. 1131 Supreme Court of the United States (2018) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court

Therefore, the Florida Supreme Court has (again)4 failed to address an important and substantial Eighth Amendment challenge to capital defendants' sentences post-Hurst . Nothing in its pre-Hurst precedent, nor in its opinions in Truehill and Oliver , addresses or resolves these substantial Caldwell -based challenges. This Court can and should intervene in the face of this troubling situation.

I dissent.
