Oliver v. Florida

Issue: (1) Whether, when a Florida jury recommended a death sentence prior to the Supreme Court's decision in Hurst v. Florida, and the jury didn't make any of the findings required by Hurst, the error can be deemed harmless under Chapman v. California, or whether the jury's recommendation is insufficient to constitute a jury verdict as required by the Sixth Amendment; and (2) whether, when the jury was repeatedly advised by the court that its advisory sentencing recommendation was non-binding, the death-sentencing procedures in this case complied with the Eighth Amendment.
