STATE OF FLORIDA 
 
Appellant(s) 
 
Appellee(s) 
 
 
Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing is hereby denied. 
 
CANADY, C.J., and POLSTON, LABARGA, LAWSON, MUÑIZ, and 
COURIEL, JJ., concur. 
LABARGA, J., concurs with an opinion. 
GROSSHANS, J., did not participate. 
 
LABARGA, J., concurring. 
 
I agree that Lawrence has not established a basis for rehearing, and 
consequently, I have voted to deny rehearing.  However, I firmly adhere to my 
dissent in Lawrence v. State, 45 Fla. L. Weekly S277 (Fla. Oct. 29, 2020), and my 
belief that proportionality review is an essential part of this Court’s review of death 
penalty cases on direct appeal.
