No. 3D04-2023
Before COPE, GERSTEN and GREEN, JJ.
885 So. 2d 892 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2004) Positive Treatment
Cited by 22 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

A life sentence is not impermissible “indefinite imprisonment” for purposes of Article I, Section 17 of the Florida Constitution. See Alvarez v. State, 358 So. 2d 10, 12 (Fla.1978) (‘We also reject petitioner’s contention that the statute is unconstitutionally vague and indefinite. Although no person can predict the maximum length of time which can be served by a prisoner under a sentence of life, this in itself does not render a life sentence impermissibly indefinite.”) (footnote omitted); Lopez v. State, 881 So. 2d 36 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004).
