Groover v. Crosby

Supreme Court of Florida
Nov 2, 2005
Case No. SC04-412 (Fla. Nov. 2, 2005)

Opinion

Case No. SC04-412.

November 2, 2005.


Tommy Sands Groover, a prisoner under sentence of death, has filed with this Court a successive petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Groover asks this Court to revisit several claims, previously raised in direct appeal and postconviction proceedings, in light of recent opinions issued by the United States Supreme Court. We conclude that Groover is not entitled to habeas relief on any of these claims and accordingly deny his habeas petition. However, Groover's claim relating to possible mental retardation is denied without prejudice to his right to file a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.203 in the circuit court for a determination of mental retardation.

It is so ordered.

PARIENTE, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANTERO and BELL, JJ., concur.
