Bryant was convicted and sentenced to death for the December 16, 1991, murder of Leonard Andre, which occurred during the course of an armed robbery of Andre's Market in Delray Beach, Florida. In this direct appeal, Bryant challenges the validity of his sentence arguing that, among other things, the trial court erred in finding him competent to stand trial and in requiring Bryant to be held in restraints during trial based on a chair-throwing incident which occurred in a previous trial.
