DueProcess Punishment
Whether all 4,626 pre-1994 parole eligible Inmates in the State of Florida should also benefit from the Florida Supreme Court's ruling in Atwell v. State
QUESTION PRESENTED Whether all 4,626 pre-1994 parole eligible Inmates in the State of Florida whom all are equally situated under the statutory schemes and criteria’s of Fla. Stat. 947, just like the pre-1994 Juvenile Inmates, should also benefit from the Florida Supreme Court’s ruling in Atwell v. State, 197 So.3d 1040 (Fla. 2016) that based on the Florida’s Parole process under the existing statutory scheme, it is unconstitutionally altering a life sentence with parole eligibility into a de facto life without parole because the presumptive parole release dates (PPRD) being established are far exceeding a parole eligible inmate’s life expectancy.
