IFP petition · Supreme Court of Florida, No. SC2025-1874 · judgment December 2, 2025


Certiorari denied · March 2, 2026

Questions presented

  1. Given the United States Supreme Court’s now long standing and clear 5th Amendment jurisprudence, do Florida Courts have authority to expand, or otherwise invent, an exception to the rule announced in Apprendf!

  2. Consistent with the strict and secure separation of powers, do Florida Courts have the authority to add words to statutes that were not placed there by the Legislature? Can Florida Courts modify a statute express terms?
