Patrick Placide v. State of Florida

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that the information in an affidavit alleging the jurors were witnessed prejudging the case could have been discovered with due diligence and was inherently incredible because the affiant was a close family friend who withheld this knowledge for 21 years
• affirming the denial of relief where the affidavit’s basis for delay in reporting the newly discovered evidence was “simply beyond what any reasonable person could accept as credible”
• finding affidavit of “family friend” offering explanation for more than twenty-year delay inherently incredible
