## Opinion text

CANADY, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur with the decision to affirm the denial of relief regarding Durousseau’s conviction. But I dissent from the decision to require a new penalty phase. As I have previously explained, Hurst v. Florida, — U.S. -, 136 S.Ct. 616 , 193 L.Ed.2d 504 (2016), should not be given retroactive effect. See Mosley v. State, 209 So.3d 1248 , 2016 WL 7406506 (Fla. Dec. 22, 2016) (Canady, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part).
POLSTON, J., concurs.
