One of those volunteers was Phillips himself. The FBI later became involved in the case. Flyers were distributed around town, including at a local Jaguars-Bengals game.

In November 2015, Phillips’ attorneys were considering the Supreme Court ruling as a basis to file a re-sentencing hearing. In September 2016, after Phillips’ attorneys successfully appealed the court, he was granted a new sentencing hearing as a result of retroactive application of the Supreme Court’s ruling which declared his current sentence, mandatory life in prison without parole, unconstitutional for juvenile offenders. A resentencing date was initially set for February 2017. In February 2017, Phillips’ lawyer asked for more time to prepare and subsequently a new sentencing hearing was set for June 2017. At the hearing, Clifton’s mother requested that his sentence be upheld. On November 17, 2017, Phillips was re-sentenced to life in prison, but is eligible for new re-sentencing in 2023. On December 17, 2019, this sentence of life in prison was upheld by Florida First District Court Of Appeal because, it said, Phillips’ life sentence will be reviewed again and could be modified at a 25-year review “based on demonstrated maturity and rehabilitation.”[1] He is currently imprisoned in the Cross City Correctional Institution.

In 2002, an appeals court upheld Phillips’s conviction. In December 2004, Melissa Phillips began to seek a new trial for her son, noting that his young age at the time of the murder should have carried more weight in his sentence. In 2005, new hearing dates were set for Phillips. In 2008, two of the officials behind his sentence, States Attorney Harry Shorstein and Sheriff Nat Glover, confirmed their belief that Phillips deserved a jail sentence, but admitted to having second thoughts about the no-parole life sentence for the 14 year old. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that sentencing juveniles to mandatory life in prison without parole is unconstitutional. It was unclear at that time if Phillips’ attorney would seek re-sentencing.
