JONATHAN HUEY LAWRENCE vs. STATE OF FLORIDA

Appellant(s) Appellee(s)

Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing is hereby denied.

CANADY, C.J., and POLSTON, LABARGA, LAWSON, MUÑIZ, and
COURIEL, JJ., concur.
LABARGA, J., concurs with an opinion.
GROSSHANS, J., did not participate.

LABARGA, J., concurring.

I agree that Lawrence has not established a basis for rehearing, and

consequently, I have voted to deny rehearing. However, I firmly adhere to my

dissent in Lawrence v. State, 45 Fla. L. Weekly S277 (Fla. Oct. 29, 2020), and my

belief that proportionality review is an essential part of this Court’s review of death

penalty cases on direct appeal.
