ANTONIO JOHNSON, APPELLANT,
JAMES V. CROSBY, JR., SEC FL. DEPT. OF CORR. ETC., APPELLEE
897 So. 2d 546
Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2005)
Opinion of the Court
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); Enriquez v. State, 885 So. 2d 892 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004).
