Question presented

Whether Williams v. Florida, 399 U. S. 78 (1970), should be overturned. The Court has granted certiorari in a case that raises the same question presented here. See Kian v. Florida, No. 25-6623, 2026 WL 1718018 (U.S. June 15, 2026). The Court should hold this case in abeyance until it decides Kian.
