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.
