Narrative Opinion Summary
Appellant's conviction and sentence as a youthful offender in adult court is under review. The trial court failed to adhere to section 39.111(7)(d) of the Florida Statutes, which mandates a written record documenting the decision to impose adult sanctions on a juvenile. The court did not provide sufficient information on whether it evaluated the six criteria outlined in section 39.111(7)(c) for determining the appropriateness of adult sanctions.
