Heading: Issue 4. Cumulative Effect of Evidence

Text: Finally, Wright argues we must consider, in determining whether he is entitled to a new trial, the cumulative effect of the evidence presented at trial, along with any Brady evidence, newly discovered evidence, and evidence that would have been presented at trial but for ineffective assistance of counsel. See State v. Gunsby, 670 So.2d 920, 921 (Fla.1996). We have considered and addressed Wright's Brady claim and claim of newly discovered evidence, and found them to be without merit. As discussed above, Wright may not relitigate the merits of his first postconviction claims. Having found that each claim presented in this proceeding lacks merit, we find no cumulative error. See Downs v. State, 740 So.2d 506, 509 n. 5 (Fla.1999) (finding that claim of cumulative error was without merit where the court considered each individual claim and found them to be without merit).
