Question Presented (from Petition)

Does the Florida Supreme Court's contrary and broad reading of LeBlanc infringe upon Petitioner's Constitutional right to have a meaningful review of his federal constitutional question, and adjudication thereof on the merits in accord with due process?

Does the Florida Supreme Court's reliance on LeBlanc as a merits based decision to overturn a previous decision favorably resolving Petitioner's Eight Amendment claim, unconstitutionally deprive him of the constitutional protection afforded by the Court's previous decision?

Does the decision of the Florida Supreme Court in State v. Michel, 257 So.3d 3 (Fla. 2018), depart from the concepts of constitutional fairness, and judicial integrity particularly, where it is clear that the Court applied an egregious and objectively unreasonable analysis of the plan language of this Court in Virgina v. Le Blanc, to overturn a previous decision a minority of the Florida Supreme court, at that time, had opposed.

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Florida Supreme Court's decision infringes on the petitioner's constitutional right to meaningful review of their federal constitutional claim
