Howell v. Stategreen
fla · 2004 · cited in 1 Florida opinions naming this issue, 2013–2013
2 sentences

2013As to the portion of the claim involving the guilt phase, this Court concluded “the low probability of success, combined with the tremendous potential for alienating the jury by blaming the trooper for his own death, fully justifies trial counsel’s strategic decision to forego presentation of the alleged policy violation during the guilt phase as being well within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance.” Id. at 703-04 (footnote omitted).

2013This Court made a similar holding as to whether counsel was ineffective in failing to use the alleged policy violation in support of a nonstatutory mitigator, concluding that “counsel made a reasonable strategic decision that introducing the evidence of the policy violation would have alienated the jury without contributing substantially to mitigation.” Id. at 704 .

Unicare Health Facilities, Inc. v. Mortgreen
fla · 1989 · cited in 1 Florida opinions naming this issue, 2001–2001
1 sentence

2001As the Florida Supreme Court pointed out in Unicare Health Facilities, Inc. v. Mort, 553 So.2d 159, 161 (Fla.1989), "The clear intent of the underlying policy of the rule was to terminate all claims, end disputes, and obviate the need for further intervention of the judicial process." The plaintiff now argues that the form of the offer of judgment was not proper; however, such claim is not cognizable because it was not raised in the trial court.

2000Indeed, Cassisi v. Maytag Co., 396 So.2d 1140, 1151 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981), in adopting the Greco inference, recognized: Considering the complexities of products litigation, and again the policy factors of Section 402A, such a solution is the better reasoned one since it is the manufacturer—rather than the plaintiff—which presumably is in the better position to produce the technical evidence required for determining the existence of a product's defect.
