2/7/19 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Johnny Mack Sketo Calhoun v. State of Florida and Mark S. Inch, etc. SC18-340, SC18-1174

Mr. Calhoun was convicted of the first-degree murder of Mia Chay Brown, who was kidnapped and burned to death in 2010. The jury voted 9-3 to recommend a death sentence, and the trial court condemned Mr. Calhoun to death. This Court upheld the sentence and conviction on direct appeal. In the initial post-conviction proceedings below, the circuit court granted Mr. Calhoun relief from his death sentence and ordered a new penalty phase, but denied relief on Mr. Calhoun’s claims related to his conviction.  In this appeal, Mr. Calhoun raises multiple guilt-phase issues, including newly discovered evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel.
