Steel v. State

Oliver Steel challenges the January 2, 2018 order of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit that denied his challenge to his sentence for first degree murder as unconstitutional. He has challenged the order on its merits in 4D18-498, and by petition for writ of certiorari challenged the circuit court's jurisdiction to enter the order in 4D18-467.
