-
Are Florida Statutes, Chapters 794 and 800 constitutionally valid, Statutes, or are they invalid, of no force or effect, and unconstitutional, from the effective date of October 1, 1974?
-
Have the lower Courts erred, and violated the Florida and U.S. Constitutions’ protections against violation of due process and equal protection of the law, when the lower Courts failed to hear and rule on a constitutional question of law, as a matter of great public importance, with every lower Court ignoring the law and issue completely?
