Groover v. McNeil

Supreme Court of Florida
Jun 26, 2009
13 So. 3d 468 (Fla. 2009)

Opinion

No. SC06-1151.

June 26, 2009.


Tommy Sands Groover, a prisoner under sentence of death, has filed a successive petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Groover asks this Court to revisit his claim in mitigation that he acted under the domination of his codefendant, previously raised in his postconviction proceedings, in light of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Bradshaw v. Stumpf, 545 U.S. 175 (2005). We conclude that Groover is not entitled to habeas relief on this claim and accordingly deny his habeas petition. See Walton v. State, 3 So. 3d 1000, 1005 (Fla. 2009).

It is so ordered.

QUINCE, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, CANADY, POLSTON, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
