See also the supreme court’s consideration of a petition by the Florida Sentencing Guidelines Commission to clarify the committee notes appended to Rule 3.701d.6., wherein the commission states it was never intended to permit the scoring of “legal status points” for each offense committed while the defendant was under legal constraint, regardless of the number of offenses and that such multiple scoring sometimes results in penalties out of proportion to the offense.
