Robert Consalvo v. State of Florida

no. 04-520
Broward County

Consalvo was convicted of the murder of Lorraine Pezza, who was fatally stabbed in her apartment sometime in late September or early October 1991. The jury voted 11-1 to recommend a death sentence and he was condemned. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction and sentence, and Consalvo filed a rule 3.850 motion in the trial court. It was denied and the appeal is now before the Supreme Court.
