Nickulis Gillis v. State of Florida

SC06-1207

Mr. Gillis was convicted of the 2002 second-degree murder of Martin Daniel, who was fatally shot, and sentenced to life in prison. At trial, Mr. Gillis argued that his confession should not be used because he was not adequately advised of his constitutional rights to talk to a lawyer before answering questions and to stop questioning. The trial court denied his motion and the Third District Court of Appeal upheld that ruling.
