LINROY BOTTOSON
Mentally ill needs treatment
not execution.
As a result the jury did not know, among other things,
that Mr. Bottoson had
been diagnosed with the debilitating brain disease schizophrenia
three times before trial:
once after he was involuntarily committed following a suicide attempt,
a second time after he heard voices commanding him to rob a bank,
and immediately before his trial.
These diagnoses correspond with the only three incidents
of threatened or
actual violence in Mr. Bottoson’s life
(one of which was solely directed against himself).
It may fairly be said that the death sentence in this case remains in effect
because of a series of historical events that have nothing to do with the seriousness
of the crime or Mr. Bottoson’s culpability

PER CURIAM.
Linroy Bottoson, a prisoner under the sentence of death and an active deathwarrant, appeals an order of the trial court denying a successive motion for
postconviction relief filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851. We
have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(1), Fla. Const. Bottoson also has filed in this
Court a successive petition for writ of habeas corpus. We have jurisdiction. See
art. V, § 3(b)(9), Fla. Const. These cases have been consolidated.
We affirm the trial court’s denial of postconviction relief,
and we deny habeas relief.
