Must-Hall-v.-Florida-be-applied-retroactively

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Must Hall v. Florida, 572 U.S. 701 (2014), be applied retroactively by state courts because it substantively expanded the class of individuals who qualify as intellectually disabled under the Eighth Amendment? 2. Did the Florida Supreme Court’s reversal of its long-final mandate granting Hall retroactivity to Petitioner specifically, coupled with Petitioner’s reasonable and detrimental reliance on the finality of that mandate, violate federal due process? i LIST OF DIRECTLY
