RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

CRIMINAL LAW--SELF-DEFENSE--SENTENCING. The trial court properly found that the defendant was not entitled to a judgment of acquittal on the basis of self-defense where the evidence of self-defense was equivocal. The Court held that the defendant is entitled to resentencing pursuant to chapter 2014-220, Laws of Florida, and to resentencing pursuant to the decision in Williams v. State, 186 So. 3d 989 (Fla. 2016).
