Michael Tyler Baggott v. Florida

I. Whether the reasoning of Lee v. United States, 137 S. Ct. 1958 (2017) extends to defendants facing lifelong sex offender registration conditions from a conviction and therefore prevents a court from summarily denying a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on a finding of lack of prejudice resulting from a defendant’s decision not to go to trial that was based entirely on their lawyer’s incorrect advice that the sole defense to the charges would not be available at trial. II. Whether a defendant must prove the existence of a plea offer to be entitled to an evidentiary hearing on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel arising out of his counsel’s failure to attempt plea negotiations.
