Question Presented (from Petition)
Whether the State of Florida violated Petitioner's rights under the Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution by denying his right to jury fact-finding, as required by this Court in Hurst v. Florida, 136 S. Ct. 616 (2016), based on the fact that he waived an advisory jury recommendation under a death penalty scheme later deemed to be unconstitutional by this Court, and where he was not advised of all available mitigation due to the deficient performance of his trial counsel?
