Duval County

Mr. Brown was charged and convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for fatally shooting his co-worker, Juanese Miller, at their workplace, Wendy’s restaurant, in 2009. This Court affirmed his conviction and sentence of death on direct appeal. Mr. Brown filed postconviction challenges in the trial court, including a claim that he was entitled to be resentenced pursuant to this Court’s decision in Hurst v. State. The court granted resentencing, but the remaining challenges were denied. His resentencing is on hold pending this appeal.
