Crenshaw v. State

Citations: 661 So. 2d 400; 1995 Fla. App. LEXIS 10646; 1995 WL 601303Docket: No. 94-2909

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; October 13, 1995; Florida; State Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

The court reviewed the appellant's argument regarding sentencing errors in Case Numbers 93-2915 and 94-1338, specifically the claim that the trial court improperly used separate guidelines score-sheets for each offense. The court found this argument to be without merit, referencing case law (Wood v. State and Heath v. State) that supports the use of different score-sheets for offenses committed in different years. However, the court noted that the 1994 score-sheet did not meet the comprehensiveness required by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.702(d)(1). Consequently, the court reversed the sentence for Case Number 94-1338 and remanded the case for correction of the score-sheet and re-sentencing. The decision was concurred by Chief Judge Peterson and Judge Sharp.
