Thompson was sentenced to life in prison as a violent career criminal following her conviction for the armed robbery of a person over the age of 65. She challenged the statute authorizing this sentence on grounds that it violated a provision of the Florida Constitution forbidding legislation in a single bill that embraced more than one subject. The trial court denied the request, but on appeal the Second District agreed that the statute was unconstitutional. The District Court reasoned that the bill enacting the statute also enacted a separate statute allowing victims of domestic violence to sue their attackers, which it concluded were different subjects. The State appeals.
