Florida cannot restrict the freedom of mentally disabled people without regularly reviewing their cases, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit decided.

J.R., 53, has an IQ of 56 and lives in a Gainesville group home. He indicated he wants to live independently near his family in Fort Myers, where he's been offered a job with Steak 'n Shake.

J.R. was involuntarily committed to state supervision in 2004 after he was charged with sexual battery and deemed incompetent to stand trial. The last time a judge looked at his case was in 2005.
