CARRERO v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Richard CARRERO, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D20-1030

Decided: September 16, 2020

Before EMAS, C.J., and LOGUE, and MILLER, JJ.

Richard Carrero, in proper person. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, for appellee.

Appellant is serving a sentence of life in prison for attempted capital murder and armed robbery. He committed the offenses on January 6, 1983, when he was 22 years of age. He argues that the holdings of Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48, 130 S.Ct. 2011, 176 L.Ed.2d 825 (2010) and Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 132 S.Ct. 2455, 183 L.Ed.2d 407 (2012) must be extended beyond juveniles to young adults like himself. As we have recently, Claude v. State, No. 3D19-1887, 299 So.3d 460, 461 (Fla. 3d DCA 2020), and as have other courts, see, e.g, Farmer v. State, 268 So. 3d 1009 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019), Jean-Michel v. State, 96 So. 3d 1043, 1045 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012), we decline to extend the holdings of these cases in this manner.

Affirmed.
