George Lewis v. Florida Parole Commission
Case Number(s):
SC13-982
Transcript:
Summary:
The Parole Commission established a presumptive release date for Mr. Lewis, who is in
prison on convictions of murder and sexual battery. Mr. Lewis filed a challenge in trial
court, arguing the Parole Commission had made a mistake when it determined his
release date. The Commission argued the challenge was filed too late and the trial court
denied the challenge by Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis argued the deadline for filing such a
challenge was unconstitutional. The First District Court of Appeal rejected his argument
and upheld the trial court.
