Supreme Court of Florida
Corey B. Johnson v. State of Florida
July 16, 2026
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's sentencing of juvenile homicide offender Corey B. Johnson to life without parole for murder and concurrent life terms for attempted murder, holding that the structure does not violate the Eighth Amendment because Graham’s meaningful‑opportunity requirement applies only to non‑homicide juvenile offenses, while Miller and Jones permit discretionary LWOP for homicide offenses.
