Jerrie M. Baist, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2025)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Jerrie M. Baist, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D25-0484

Decided: June 04, 2025

Before GORDO, BOKOR and GOODEN, JJ.

Jerrie M. Baist, in proper person. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, for appellee.

As the Florida Supreme Court, this court, and numerous courts of this state have held, a sentence of life imprisonment is “sufficiently definite so that it can be understood and applied.” Ratliff v. State, 914 So. 2d 938, 940 (Fla. 2005); see also Holmes v. State, 245 So. 3d 857, 858 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (applying Ratliff in affirming a life sentence).

Affirmed.

PER CURIAM.
