Alexander Galindez v. State of Florida

SC05-1341

Mr. Galindez was convicted of lewd assault on a child and impregnating a child. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison but that sentence was vacated by the Third District Court of Appeal and he was resentenced to 24 years. He appealed the new sentence to the Third District Court of Appeal, which upheld it but certified conflict with a decision by the First District Court of Appeal. The legal issue now pending in this case is whether U.S. Supreme Court rulings that affect sentences apply to the re-sentencing hearing.
