This opinion was directly after there retention, do you feel that the decision was more based on the Simmions case than the constitutionality of Section 847.0138 F.S. ?

I don’t see Simmons’ argument here. He was a perv, he got caught.
Welcome to FR
Did the Florida Supreme Court uphold the conviction? If so I would almost be surprised they could not rationalize a way to defend the pedophile.
Court got it right in what was basically a no-brainer decision dealing with frivolous constitutional arguments.
I haven’t read through it completely, but it seems like the court looked real hard to find a reason to overturn, but just could not do it.
I have no legal training...I just hope the pervert was incarcerated.
