Mr. Henry was convicted of sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery, carjacking and burglary. The crimes were committed when he was 17. He was tried as an adult and sentenced as a sexual predator to life in prison plus 60 years. While his appeal was pending, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that juveniles sentenced for crimes other than homicide could not be denied the opportunity for parole. The trial court resentenced Mr. Henry to 90 years in prison. The Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the sentence. This appeal followed.
