Harvey v. Florida
Petition for certiorari denied on October 7, 2019
Issue: Whether the Florida Supreme Court"s decision denying retroactive application of the Hurst decisions to the petitioner violates the Eighth and 14th Amendments because it uses an arbitrary cut-off point and other arbitrary factors"such as the timing of judicial decisions"to determine whether similarly situated death row prisoners will receive retroactive application of constitutional rights.
