In the statements cited, the prosecutor used words and phrases such as "desperation, distortion, and half-truths," "charade," and "totally irrational" to characterize defense counsel's arguments as misleading. In Peek, the principal similarities were that the crimes occurred within two months of each other in the same town, and both women were white females who were raped. 97-5975 (U.S. Sept. 10, 1997); Henyard v. State, 689 So.2d 239 (Fla.1996) (finding four aggravators, including HAC, prior violent felony conviction, and murder during commission of kidnapping and sexual battery outweighed two statutory mitigators and minor nonstatutory mitigation), cert. As his last penalty phase issue, Chandler argues that the standard jury instruction on the heinous, atrocious, or cruel (HAC) aggravating circumstance is unconstitutionally vague. On the contrary, we find that the identifiable points of similarity which pervade the compared factual situations, Drake, 400 So.2d at 1219, include chance encounters in public places with young female tourists to whom Chandler offered assistance; almost immediate offers of cruises on his boat; the same blue and white boat used for both crimes; a warm, non-threatening demeanor that convinced the eventual victims to accompany Chandler on his boat within twenty-four hours of meeting him; sexual motive with all victims stripped from the waist down; use or threatened use of duct tape; crimes occurring in large bodies of water under cover of darkness; murder committed or threatened; and commission of the crimes within a brief time frame seventeen to eighteen days of each other.

Transcript; . Theresa Stubbs from FDLE determined that some of the handwriting on the Clearwater Beach brochure was Chandler's, while other writing may have been Joan Rogers'. We must examine each claim to determine if it is legally sufficient, and, if so, determine whether or not the claim is refuted by the record. Appellee's Answer Brief at 45. Pursuant to section 910.03(1), Florida Statutes (1993), Chandler initially elected to be tried in Hillsborough County. He convinced a friend to help him pawn several items of jewelry later identified as belonging to Roark. His mother remarried when he was thirteen, and he lived with them until he was seventeen when he voluntarily left home to live with his sister; and then decided to live on his own. (Emphasis added.) Kristal had been convicted of a crime involving dishonesty and appeared on the television show Hard Copy in 1994 to discuss her father's alleged role in the murders in return for a $1000 fee. After boating for several hours, Blair and Chandler returned to the dock. In James, we rejected the appellant's vagueness and overbreadth challenges since the HAC instruction given at trial was the same instruction approved in Hall v. State, 614 So.2d 473 (Fla.1993), wherein this Court found that neither the instruction nor the aggravator itself was unconstitutionally vague. The calls were placed to a number registered to Debra Chandler, Chandler's wife. At trial, she identified the clothing Chandler had been wearing that night.

The next day, Blair told Mottram what happened and reported the rape to the police. Corolis was a casual acquaintance of Gore's, whom she knew as Tony. In March of 1988, Gore called Corolis at her home and told her that his car had broken down and he needed a ride to it. [2] Huff v. State, 622 So.2d 982 (Fla.1993). Contact us. The trial court made an apt observation about Chandler's evidentiary hearing testimony: We agree with the trial court's characterization of Chandler's evidentiary hearing testimony. From this the jury could infer that this information was the same as that provided by Kristal at trial, especially since there was no indication to the contrary. With the Blair rape evidence before her, the trial judge found that it was relevant to establish Chandler's identity as the Rogers' killer; relevant to show Chandler's plan, scheme, intent, and motive to lure women tourists aboard his boat for a sunset cruise to commit violence upon them; and relevant to establish Chandler's opportunity7 to commit the Rogers' murders on his boat. The material issue to be resolved by the similar facts evidence in the present case is identity, which the State sought to prove by showing Drake's mode of operating. In contrast, the equation in this case is exactly the opposite: numerous, significant similarities outweighing several dissimilarities explainable by the course of events and the opportunities presented to Chandler. Id. In Spencer v. State, 842 So.2d 52 (Fla. 2003), we recently explained: *1046 Id.

Former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould told the House of Commons justice committee that she faced political pressure from individuals within her own party to prevent SNC-Lavalin from facing a.

He testified at trial that on June 1, Chandler appeared to be in a big hurry after bringing Cooper some screen.

Admittedly, on its face, trial counsel's strategy might raise doubts as to its efficacy. More recently, in Hayes v. State, 660 So.2d 257 (Fla.1995), we observed that: The Evidence Code, under section 90.404(2)(a), Florida Statutes (1993), allows a party to introduce similar fact evidence of other crimes when it is relevant to prove a material fact in issue. Therefore, even if these statements were poorly expressed, they were not improper. On April 2, 1988, the skeletonized remains of Roark's body were discovered in Columbia County, Florida. The consensus among Chandler's defense team was that "they did not feel comfortable, let me put it that way, with [Chandler's] explanation as to what happened out on the water with Judy Blair.". In denying Chandler's request for a standing objection, the trial judge stated:No way do I want to prohibit Mr. Chandler from testifying before this jury. See art. No statutory mitigators were presented or proved. Sometime between 11:30 and 12:00, Roark left to drive Gore home. Share Save. Moreover, it is permissible, even in a trial upon a multicount indictment, for the court to charge that a jury may draw an inference of guilt from a defendant's silence when the defendant testifies as to some facts, but refrains from testifying as to other facts within his knowledge. 14. The note read, Turn right. Id. See Stephens v. State, 748 So.2d 1028, 1034 (Fla.1999) (recognizing trial court's superior vantage point in assessing credibility of witnesses).

Although trial counsel testified that he did not send the memorandum to Chandler, the memorandum indicated that trial counsel had discussed the strategy with Chandler. Aside from filing the notice, Chandler provides no argument other than that the cases "may be relevant to the issues raised in this cause." The court should then require the defendant to confirm on the record that his counsel has discussed these matters with him, and despite counsel's recommendation, he wishes to waive presentation of penalty phase evidence. 848 So. Therefore, any inference of guilt for the [Blair] rape from the invocation of the Fifth is undeniably harmless. Appellee's Answer Brief at 73. at 189.

We noted that on direct examination, the defendant's testimony covered six general subjects, including his denial that he murdered the victim.

Soraya Butler, Elizabeth Beiro, Carl Voeller, and Frances Watkins. Counsel must indicate whether, based on his investigation, he reasonably believes there to be mitigating evidence that could be presented and what that evidence would be. The Mays' house was also damaged by the drug dealers. Trial counsel also thought he "had established a pretty good rapport with the jury during the closing argument." On redirect, the State attempted to rehabilitate Mays by introducing her sworn statement made to the state attorney's office on October 6, 1992, before the Hard Copy appearance was negotiated. The trial court's analysis conforms with the requirements we established in Campbell and Ferrell. (1993). The following morning, May 15, 1989, Mottram decided not to go out on Chandler's boat, so Blair met Chandler alone. A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome." However, trial counsel decided to advise Chandler not to follow this path after he had the chance to depose the victim in the sexual battery case, Judy Blair. Chandler, 702 So.2d at 192-97. Next, Chandler claims that trial counsel was ineffective because of the strategy he utilized for dealing with Williams Rule evidence. Blake Leslie, an inmate at the Pinellas County Jail with Chandler in the fall of 1992, testified that Chandler told him that he took a young lady from another country for a ride in his boat. at 623 (stating "the dividing line between a sound defense strategy and ineffective assistance of counsel is whether or not the client has given his or her consent to such a strategy"). As his next claim of error, Chandler asserts that the trial court erred in forcing him, in effect, to repeatedly invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before the jury in response to questions about the Blair rape. At the evidentiary hearing, trial counsel gave a well-founded explanation for why he thought his strategy for dealing with the Williams Rule evidence was appropriate. Id. i think, when considered in the totality of the claims, there is a likelihood, based upon the circumstantial evidence case that the state had, regarding the rogers homicides, that mr. chandler might we will have been found not guilty, had his Miss Holliday: Judy Holliday, 158 Waverly Place . Squatters A Of Crossword Conquest Mongodb Finally, in summing up his opening argument, trial counsel stated, "And ladies and gentlemen, in conclusion, the State is going to be able to prove, at least for their caseokay?the State will probably be able to prove to you the Madeira Beach rape.

After they had driven around for several hours, Gore revealed a knife, gained control of the car, and drove to a partially wooded dumping area off a dirt road. I think it looks bad in front of the jury when you're continually jumping up and interrupting the other side's closing argument." In summing up his thoughts, trial counsel stated, "If they were ever going to make a mold of what the State wants to bring to court for a rape victim, that mold is going to be this lady. denied, 535 U.S. 1098, 122 S.Ct. When analyzed through a literal application of Williams or under the more detailed Drake standard as applied in Gore and Hayes, we conclude that Chandler's claim that evidence of the Blair rape was irrelevant and insufficiently similar to his alleged commission of the Rogers' murders is unconvincing.6. [16] He asserts that trial counsel's failure to object to these comments constituted prejudicial error. Transcript; Exhibits; Virginia Limmiatis. And, again, I ask you to keep that separate." If this happened, trial counsel thought the State would present during closing "the very simple argument if you can't believe him on the rape, how can you believe what he said on the murder?" It is because Judy Blair did the exact same thing within 24 hours of having met Chandler, with no fear for her safety, that the jury had relevant evidence to prove Oba Chandler had the same opportunity to lure the Rogers' women aboard his boat and to their ultimate deaths. judy blair testimony transcript.

State, 457 So.2d 1012, 1017 (Fla. 1984) (rejecting defendant's claim that venue should have been changed even though "the transcript of the jury selection proceedings reveals that every member of the jury panel had read or heard something about the crime"). After meeting the women at a convenience store, Chandler, who identified himself as "Dave," arranged to take them out on his boat the next day. Make an Appointment. 494 So.2d at 204. Gore had planned to travel to Florida with a friend from Cleveland. Court: Is there anything else we need to put on the record?

Arens began the questioning as such: Mr. Arens: Kindly identify yourself by name and residence. Id. Garrett Graff . 8. 18. [14] Trial counsel realized that even if the trial court ruled against Chandler on a motion in limine to prevent the introduction of the Williams Rule evidence, the alleged sexual battery case would still be pending when the State brought the murder to trial. However, in cases where there has been no evidentiary hearing, we must accept the factual allegations made by the defendant to the extent that they are not refuted by the record. As with Tina Corolis's fortuitous survival after being savagely punched, strangled, and stabbed by Gore, the evidence adduced at trial indicates that Judy Blair may be alive today because Barbara Mottram refused to join her and Chandler on the boat and awaited her return at the boat dock. There is no proof, therefore, in the record, of the mitigating factor of child abuse, or a deprived childhood. The jury recommended a death sentence for each of the murders by a vote of twelve to zero later that same day.
