William Todd Larimore v. State of Florida

SC06-139

Mr. Larimore challenges his incarceration under Florida's Jimmy Ryce Act, which provides for the detention of sexually violent predators. Mr. Larimore pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 16 years of age in two separate cases and was sentenced to prison and probation. After being released from prison, his probation was revoked and he was sentenced to prison again. The First District Court of Appeal later ruled Mr. Larimore was to be immediately released from prison because the state had wrongly forfeited his gaintime. Mr. Larimore argues the state petitioned to have him designated a sexually violent predator when he was illegally incarcerated. The 1st DCA disagreed.
