James Hitchcock
v. State of
Florida
No. 92,717
Orange County
Facts
James Ernest Hitchcock was convicted and sentenced to death for
the 1976 strangulation murder of his brother's 13-year-old
stepdaughter. He appeals a resentencing and primarily argues that
the trial court erred in allowing certain prosecution evidence and
argument during his third resentencing proceeding.
