What it's about

This case involves a petition for a writ of certiorari and a motion to proceed as a pauper filed by Humphrey, seeking review of a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

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 cases that were final before Ring v. Arizona, 536 U.S. 584 (2002), violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution?
