Ct. 616 (2016), and this court’s decision on remand in Hurst v. State (Hurst), 202 So. 3d 40 (Fla. 2016). Petitioner was sentenced to death following a jury’s recommendation for death by a vote of eight to four. Petitioner’s sentence of death became final in 2001. The Supreme Court held that Hurst did not apply retroactively to Petitioner’s sentence of death and thus denied Petitioner’s petition.
