Stephanie Maniscalco//September 12, 2018//
Where a defendant argued that the Board of Probation and Parole improperly determined that he was required to serve a minimum of 85 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole in his involuntary manslaughter case, the judgment is affirmed because the proposed retroactive application is barred by Section 1.160.
Judgment is affirmed.
