Ronald Wayne Clark, Jr. v. State of Florida
Ronald Wayne Clark, Jr. v. State of Florida
Opinion
We have for review Ronald Wayne Clark, Jr.'s appeal of the circuit court's *100 order denying Clark's motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851. This Court has jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(1), Fla. Const.
Clark's motion sought relief pursuant to the United States Supreme Court's decision in
Hurst v. Florida
, --- U.S. ----,
After reviewing Clark's response to the order to show cause, as well as the State's arguments in reply, we conclude that Clark is not entitled to relief. Clark was sentenced to death following a jury's recommendation for death by a vote of eleven to one.
Clark v. State
,
The Court having carefully considered all arguments raised by Clark, we caution that any rehearing motion containing reargument will be stricken. It is so ordered.
LABARGA, C.J., and QUINCE, POLSTON, and LAWSON, JJ., concur.
PARIENTE, J., concurs in result with an opinion.
LEWIS and CANADY, JJ., concur in result.
PARIENTE, J., concurring in result.
I concur in result because I recognize that this Court's opinion in
Hitchcock v. State
,
Although our decision affirming Clark's death sentence does not specify the number of Clark's jurors who voted to recommend death, our decision affirming the denial of his initial motion for postconviction relief states that "[t]he jury voted eleven to one to recommend death."
