Description

Groover was convicted of three counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to death on two counts and to life imprisonment on the remaining count. On appeal, this Court affirmed the convictions and sentences. Groover v. State, 458 So.2d 226 (Fla. 1984), cert. denied, 471 U.S. 1009, 105 S. Ct. 1877, 85 L. Ed. 2d 169 (1985). In 1986, Groover appealed the trial courts denial of his motion to vacate judgment and sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. This Court held that twelve of fourteen issues raised by Groover in his 3.850 motion were either without merit, procedurally barred or both, but remanded the case to the trial court for an evidentiary hearing to determine if counsel was inadequate for not inquiring into Groovers competency to stand trial and for failing to order a psychiatric evaluation. Groover v. State, 489 So.2d 15 (Fla. 1986).
