Michael Tyler Baggott v. Florida
FifthAmendment
Whether the reasoning of Lee v. United States extends to defendants facing lifelong sex offender registration conditions
QUESTIONS PRESENTED I. Whether the reasoning of Lee v. United States, 137 S. Ct. 1958 (2017) extends to defendants facing lifelong sex offender registration conditions from a conviction and therefore prevents a court from summarily denying a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on a finding of lack of prejudice resulting from a defendant’s decision not to go to trial that was based entirely on their lawyer’s incorrect advice that the sole defense to the charges would not be available at trial. II. Whether a defendant must prove the existence of a plea offer to be entitled to an evidentiary hearing on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel arising out of his counsel’s failure to attempt plea negotiations.
