Jacksonville man convicted of murdering 8-year-old girl fighting for life sentence review
would Action News Jax has been following the case since Clifton was first found dead in 1998. The case has gained national attention, in part, because of its nature. Clifton's body had been found beaten and stabbed in Phillips' waterbed. He was 14 years old at the time and was sentenced to life in prison without the chance for parole. Phillips made his first appearance inside a Duval County courtroom on Monday since 2017. During a hearing where the judge was expected to set a date to review his sentence, his recently appointed lawyers asked for at least a few months' time in preparing a case to argue for Phillips to receive a new sentence. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< The case they're expected to make is Phillips' age both when he committed the murder and when he was first convicted. Criminal defense attorney Chris Carson says the Florida Supreme Court has ruled against minors receiving a life sentence since Phillips' conviction. 'If someone was under the age of 18, there had to be some manner of opportunity for that person to seek recourse,' Carson said. Phillips and his lawyers had made this argument in Duval County court back in 2017, but he was resentenced to life in prison after the court rejected it. Court records show another attempt by his lawyers to have his sentence reviewed in 2020, but the Florida Supreme Court denied it. Carson tells Action News Jax he doesn't expect Phillips' sentence to change because of the nature of the murder and the attention it has received. 'The technical reality is he has to be given an opportunity to present that evidence,' said Carson, 'the practical reality is it would take some very compelling evidence for a judge to modify the sentence at this point.' Whatever case Phillips' lawyers decide to make, Carson said it could take months for them to build it. 'There can be things that involve, you know, psychologists, psychiatrists, even medical doctors. So, depending on the nature of the mitigation, that's going to dictate the timeline,' Carson said. The judge ordered that the next day, this case would go to court on July 8th. We're expecting to hear an update from Phillips' lawyers on where they are in building their case for a sentence review.

TRENDING STORIES: 'One more is too many;' Family remembers woman killed in motorcycle crash Local high school secures 1st state softball title, finishes with perfect record Man dead after shooting at billiards hall in Ohio As News Center 7 previously reported, Daniel was shot as he responded to a domestic dispute on May 26. Brian Michael Wilson, 53, was indicted on 14 counts last week, including two counts of aggravated murder in Daniel's death. The Morrow County Prosecutor's Office will seek the death penalty if Wilson is convicted. The Sherrers' full statement can be read below. The family of Morrow County Deputy Daniel Weston Sherrer expresses our utmost gratitude to everyone who has reached out to us, our daughter Selby, and his fiancé Alexandria Lyon, during this difficult time. We especially want to thank the Morrow County Sheriff's Office and the people of Morrow County for the overwhelming support and love shown for our son. Your response to this unfathomable tragedy has brought us comfort in the midst of our grief. We were humbled by those who lined the roadways and streets from Morrow County to Marion County as the funeral procession made its way to lay our son to rest. Hundreds of you waved flags, placed your hands over your heart or stood in prayerful silence as the procession traveled to Marion Cemetery. Thank you for loving our son, respecting the job he did and recognizing the ultimate sacrifice he made to uphold his promise to protect and serve the residents of Morrow County. We will never forget you. It would be remiss not to mention the thousands of law enforcement officers and first responders who were with us every step of the way during calling hours and Weston's funeral. Your presence and ceremonial tributes are forever etched in our hearts. In light of our tragic loss, we besiege you to support the State Fraternal Order of Police's Protect Ohio Police initiative launched June 5. It urges all state and federal lawmakers to hold offenders accountable following violent attacks against Ohio law enforcement. Through this initiative, the FOP will advocate for the passage of Senate Bill 167, known as the Protect and Serve Act, which will make it a crime to knowingly assault a law enforcement officer or cause serious bodily injury. Please remember that just like our Weston, law enforcement officers protect us and encounter situations daily that most people fear. Yet, they bravely persevere, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice. Please continue to keep our families in your prayers. With grateful hearts, Dan and Julie Sherrer Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9 [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
