Frank A. Walls v. State of Florida
Supreme Court of Florida
1Per curiam
This case is before the Court on appeal from an order summarily denying a motion to vacate a sentence of death under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851. Because the order concerns postconviction relief from a sentence of death, this Court has jurisdiction of the appeal under article V, section 3(b)(1), Florida Constitution. For the reasons that follow, we reverse the summary denial of Walls’ intellectual disability claim and remand for the circuit court to conduct an evidentiary hearing-under the appropriate standards.
