Supreme Court of Florida

Jason Shenfeld v. State of Florida

September 2, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 479

Summary

The court held that applying the 2007 amendment to Florida's probation-tolling statute to a probationer placed on probation before the amendment was enacted did not violate the federal or Florida Ex Post Facto Clauses. The amendment was procedural because it changed the methods by which a probation term could be tolled without increasing the punishment for the underlying offense. The court approved the district court's decision and declined to consider the separate challenge to the length of Shenfeld's sentence.
