Ronald Carl Pennington, Jr. v. Florida
1. Whether instructing the jury that the defendant could be found guilty on a theory that he aided and abetted a State agent in committing a crime effectively negated his entrapment defense thus violating his constitutional rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments?
2. Whether, contrary to the Due Process and Jury Clauses, the trial court erred in imposing an enhanced sentence under a statute authorizing the enhancement based on nonjury fact-findings upon proof by a preponderance of the evidence?
3. Whether a mandatory life sentence for a non-homicide offense violates the cruel and unusual punishment clauses in light of this Court's decisions subsequent to Harmelin v. Michigan, 501 U.S. 957 (1991)?
4. Whether Petitioner was deprived of his right, under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments, to a trial by a 12-person jury when the defendant is charged with a serious felony?
