I hate having to sound like a lawyer, but your brother should avail himself of one of the many Florida criminal postconviction attorneys who offer free initial consulations. There are many, all over the state, who will request his name and case number, look at the relevant docket entries, and advise you about what options he may have available and whether Florida Statute 900.06 will impact your brother's situation when it goes into effect July 1, 2019.
