v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1986-10-28
Nos. BJ-252, BJ-255
WIGGINTON and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
496 So. 2d 230 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1986) Caution
Cited by 6 cases

Opinion of the Court
ERVIN, Judge.

ERVIN, Judge.

Appellant appeals the trial court’s departure from the recommended guideline sentence of 9-12 years’ incarceration to a term of natural life. We find that the trial judge’s reasons for departure are invalid in that they have already been factored into the guideline sentence.

The case is reversed with directions to resentence the appellant within the recommended range provided by the guidelines. Williams v. State, 492 So. 2d 1308 (Fla.1986).

WIGGINTON and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
