    Jeffrey Glenn Hutchinson - Florida Death Row




    Facts of the Crime:

    On the evening of September 11, 1998, Jeffrey Hutchinson and his live-in girlfriend, Renee Flaherty had an argument. After the argument, Hutchinson packed some of his clothes and guns into his truck, left, and went to a bar. Hutchinson told the bartender, who knew both Hutchinson and Flaherty, “Renee is pissed off at me.” Hutchinson drank one and a half glasses of beer and left, muttering to himself. Witnesses noted that Hutchinson drove recklessly as he left the bar.

    Approximately 40 minutes after Hutchinson left the bar, there was a 911 call from Hutchinson’s home. The caller stated, “I just shot my family” and “There were some guys here.” Friends identified the caller’s voice as Hutchinson’s. Deputies arrived within 10 minutes of Hutchinson’s call and found him on the ground in the garage. Deputies found the bodies of Renee Flaherty, Amanda Flaherty (seven years old) and Logan Flaherty (four years old) in the master bedroom. Each had been shot once in the head with a shotgun. Geoffrey Flaherty (nine years old) was found in the living room, shot once in the chest and once in the head with a shotgun. Hutchinson had gunshot residue on his hands and Geoffrey’s body tissue on his leg. Hutchinson alleged that two men came into the house, and he struggled with them. They then shot Renee and the children and fled. Hutchinson was examined at the scene and at the jail and had no injuries.

    Hutchinson was sentenced to death in Okaloosa County on February 6, 2001.

    Factors Contributing to the Delay in Imposition of Sentence:

    The Direct Appeal was pending from 03/07/01 – 07/01/04.

    Case Information:

On 07/01/04, the convictions and sentences were affirmed.

    Hutchinson filed a 3.851 Motion with the Circuit Court on 10/20/05 and amended the motion on 07/28/06. An evidentiary hearing was held on 10/22/07. The motion was denied on 01/03/08.

    Hutchinson filed a 3.853 Motion with the Circuit Court on 06/23/06 that was denied on 11/03/06.

    Hutchinson filed a 3.851 Motion Appeal with the Florida Supreme Court on 01/28/08 that was denied on 07/09/09.

    In today's United States Supreme Court orders, Hutchinson's petition for writ of certiorari was DENIED.

    This is an appeal from a lower court.

    Lower Ct: United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
    Case Nos.: (10-14978)
