State v. Eason
State v. Eason
501 So. 2d 696; 12 Fla. L. Weekly 414; 1987 Fla. App. LEXIS 6527
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
State v. Eason
Opinion of the Court
The state appeals from the trial court’s downward departure from the sentencing guidelines. The only reason given on the scoresheet for the departure was “Recommendation of D.O.C. [Department of Corrections] Officer.” The trial court’s own reason for departure should be set forth. See State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985); State v. D’Alexander, 496 So.2d 1007 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986). We reverse and remand for resentencing.
