Whether a 129-year sentence for a non-homicide offense committed as a juvenile violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW In 1976, the state of Florida sentenced Petitioner to a 129-year term of imprisonment for a non-homicide offense committed when he was 16 years of age. Although Petitioner is eligible for parole under a system Florida abolished in 1983, each year Florida grants parole only to one-half of one percent of parole-eligible inmates.
