Lukehart v. State

Andrew Richard Lukehart appeals an order of the circuit court denying his amended motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Through his postconviction motion, Lukehart challenges his conviction of first-degree murder and sentence of death. Lukehart also petitions this Court for a writ of habeas corpus. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(1), (9), Fla. Const. With the single exception noted in the fourth issue below concerning a procedural claim, we affirm the postconviction court’s denial of rule 3.850 relief and we deny habeas relief.
