Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTION PRESENTED Does the Florida Supreme Court’s adaptive functioning analysis of intellectually disabled individuals, which requires post-conviction defendants to prove they experience current adaptive deficits in prison, and over-emphasizing their adaptive strengths and prison behavior, violate the Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution in direct conflict with the standards for analyzing adaptive functioning set forth in Moore v. Texas, 137 S. Ct. 1039 (2017)?
