Document:
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Alan S. Apte, Judge.
Jammie Jerome Brown, Jr., Bonifay, pro se.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Pamela J. Koller, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.
Jammie Jerome Brown, Jr. (the defendant) appeals the trial court's order summarily denying his motion filed pursuant to rule 3.850 of the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. We reverse and remand for reconsideration of the defendant's first and fifth grounds for relief.
The defendant timely filed a rule 3.850 motion. The motion raised five grounds for relief, arguing, among other things, that trial counsel had rendered ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to call material witnesses, Melvin Beasley and Toby Durham (ground one), and by failing to object to a jury instruction on the lesser-included offense of attempted second-degree murder which did not include an independent recitation of excusable and justifiable homicide (ground five). The trial court entered an order summarily denying all five grounds for relief.
The defendant challenges this order, claiming that the trial court erred in summarily denying ground one and failing to rule on ground five. We agree.
Claims of ineffective assistance of counsel require satisfying the two-part test set forth in Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687 (1984). First, the defendant must show that trial counsel's performance was deficient, which requires showing that counsel made errors so serious that counsel was not functioning as the "counsel" guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. Id. at 694. Second, the defendant must show that counsel's deficient performance prejudiced his defense, which requires showing that counsel's errors were so serious as to create "a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different." Id. "A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome." Id.
[U]nder rule 3.850, a movant is entitled to an evidentiary hearing unless the motion, files, and record conclusively show that the movant is not entitled to relief. Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850(d); e.g. Provenzano v. Duggar, 561 So.2d 541, 543 (Fla. 1990); Harich v. State, 484 So.2d 1239, 1240 (Fla. 1986); O'Callaghan v. State, 461 So.2d 1354, 1355 (Fla. 1984). To support summary denial without a hearing, a trial court must either state its rationale in its decision or attach those specific parts of the record that refute each claim presented in the motion. Hoffman v. State, 571 So.2d 449, 450 (Fla. 1990).
Anderson v. State, 627 So.2d 1170, 1171 (Fla. 1993).
As to ground one, the defendant alleged in his motion that he informed his trial counsel of Beasley before trial and that Beasley was available to testify during trial. The motion further alleged that Beasley would have testified that he was with the defendant when the crime was committed and that he left with the defendant before the crime took place. The motion alleged that trial counsel never contacted or subpoenaed Beasley.
