Raymond M. Austin, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court dismissed its review of Austin’s sentencing case, finding that it had improperly granted jurisdiction based on a direct conflict with Lightsey; the Court noted that Austin may still seek relief under recent juvenile sentencing rulings. Justice Pariente, in a concurring opinion, emphasized that Austin’s sentencing claims were not properly preserved and should be revisited under newer precedent.
