See Bottoson v. Moore, 833 So. 2d 693, 695 (Fla.), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 1070, 123 S.Ct. 662, 154 L.Ed.2d 564 (2002). Thus, Ring did not expand Guzman’s jury rights beyond what he knew when he waived those rights. This claim is denied. II. Claim of Incompetence to be Executed Guzman’s second habeas claim is that he may be i…
