Dominick A. Occhicone v. State of Florida
The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the denial of Dominick A. Occhicone’s second successive postconviction motion and denied his motion for a stay of execution. The Court rejected his public-records, equal-protection, age-based Eighth Amendment, execution-pace, and seven-to-five jury recommendation claims. The decision emphasizes the Court’s application of colorable-claim, timeliness, and existing constitutional limits in post-warrant capital litigation.
