Question presented

1. 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 cases that were final before Ring v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 584 (2002), violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. 2. Whether the Florida Supreme Court’s refusal to apply Hurst retroactively to Petitioner’s case violates the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
