Question presented

Whether the Florida Supreme Court’s decision in Asay v. State, 210 So. 3d 1 (Fla. 2016), which held that Hurst v. Florida, 136 S. Ct. 616 (2016), does not apply retroactively to defendants whose death sentences became final before Ring v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 584 (2002), violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution?
