Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether this Honorable Court should grant Certiorari where Florida Statute section 775.021(1) concerning the rule of lenity is being unconstitutionally applied to defendants in the State of Florida in violation of the due process and equal protection clause of the 14th amendment?

Are Florida defendants Fourteenth Amendment Constitutional Right to due process and equal protection of the law abridged when Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure expressly require the trial court to orally adjudicate the defendant guilty of the criminal offense charge during sentencing and the trial court fails to do so?

When a state trial court departs from the United States Supreme Court interpretation of the rule of lenity is the defendant's 14th amendment constitutional right to due process and equal protection of the law abridged?
