View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: The Supreme Court of Florida determined that two proposed constitutional amendments, establishing additional guidelines for the Florida Legislature to apply when it redistricts legislative and congressional boundaries, encompassed a single subject in compliance with Art. XI, § 3, Fla. Const. and complied with § 101.161(1), Fla. Stat. (2008).

| AmerUs Life Ins. Co. v. Lait, No. SC07-2095,
SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA, January 29, 2009, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Because trial court had stated in final judgment that an individual and a professional association were liable to an insurer for attorney's fees and costs, the 30-day time limit in Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.525 for motions for attorney's fees and costs did not apply; the trial court had already determined entitlement, just not the amount of fees and costs.

|||||
Overview: Because defendant's motion for DNA testing under Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.853(b)(3), § 925.11, Fla. Stat. (2008) was insufficiently pleaded, because defendant did not even attempt to demonstrate how further testing would exonerate him in face of the overwhelming evidence of his guilt, he was not entitled to postconviction relief.

SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA, January 29, 2009, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Collateral crime evidence was admitted under § 921.141(a)(6), Fla. Stat.; it was probative of material issues and was not outweighed by danger of prejudice. Death sentence was proportionate; robbery aggravator was based on violent felony convictions, death sentence was imposed in similar cases, and mental impairment did not compel life sentence.
