Code ? 13A-5-9.1 motion to reconsider the life sentence that was imposed on him upon application of the Habitual Felony Offender Act (HFOA); the inmate's prior parole on the subject escape conviction was not a factor to be considered in determining whether he was eligible for sentence reconsideration.
