Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED Question #1: Whether the Florida Court of Appeals unreasonably applied this Court's precedent when it upheld the denial of a post-conviction claim alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel on a juvenile offender's motion to suppress as involuntary, inculpatory statements made by the juvenile, under the influence of alcohol and illegal drugs, without an attorney or guardian present, after a night of trauma and intimidation, coercion and deception by police who feigned inability to reach his mother, when the juvenile indicated repeatedly that he wanted to talk to her? Question #2: Whether the Florida Court of Appeals unreasonably applied this Court's precedent when it upheld the denial of a post-conviction claim alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel for failure to properly advise a juvenile offender re: his constitutional right to testify in his own defense and/or coercion not to testify? Question #3: Whether the Florida Court of Appeals unreasonably applied this Court's precedent when it upheld the denial of a post-conviction claim alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel for failure to show a juvenile offender graphic autopsy photographs of the victim before the juvenile rejected the State's plea offer(s)?
