How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that a juvenile nonhomicide offender’s sentence of seventy years’ imprisonment is unconstitutional under Graham for the reasons explained in Henry
  • holding that a seventy-five-year sentence for a juvenile who was convicted of an attempted murder was unconstitutional because it failed to provide for a meaningful opportunity for early release
  • quashing decision affirming a juvenile’s 70-year sentence for attempted first-degree murder and remanding for resentencing in accordance with Henry
  • “Long-standing precedent unambiguously instructs that attempted first-degree murder is deemed a nonhomicide offense under Florida law.”
  • reversing juvenile nonhomicide offender’s aggregate seventy- year sentence with twenty-five-year mandatory minimum because it failed to provide defendant with judicial review, and thereby, meaningful opportunity for future release
  • remanding Gri-dine’s case to the sentencing court to conduct proceedings “in accordance with Henry”
