12/8/16 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Gangapersad Ramroop v. State, SC15-1816

Mr. Ramroop was convicted of attempted second-degree murder of a law enforcement officer after a traffic chase with law enforcement. The chase ended in a crash that killed Robert Hunter, the driver of another car. Mr. Ramroop was convicted of first-degree murder for Mr. Hunter’s death. On appeal, he alleged the trial court made errors that deprived him of a fair trial. The Fifth District Court of Appeal ruled the trial court made mistakes but they weren’t serious enough to warrant a new trial. Instead, the 5th DCA remanded the case for resentencing on the lesser-included charge of attempted second-degree murder. Mr. Ramroop asked this Court to review, alleging conflicts with earlier decisions by this Court as well as other District Courts of Appeal.
