I may be treading on thin ice, because I am not familiar with FL capital offense statutes, but still... is the 8-4 death verdict cognizable no longer as an appellate or writ issue ?
Hi, Phil. If I understand your question correctly, you're asking whether Randolph could challenge the 8-4 jury vote in his case. Because his sentence of death became final before 2002, he was not eligible for Hurst relief based on the pre-2016 nonunanimous jury vote for death in his case. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick response. I knew there was a hole in the logic net somewhere, just could not put my finger on it. Gomenasai.
