Gonzalez v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Gonzalez v. State, 546 So. 2d 786 (1989)
14 Fla. L. Weekly 1749; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 4151; 1989 WL 81632
Cope, Ferguson, Gersten
Gonzalez v. State
Opinion of the Court
A “split sentence” of probation and incarceration cannot exceed the maximum term of imprisonment for the offense charged. State v. Holmes, 360 So.2d 380 (Fla. 1978). In modifying and extending the defendant’s probationary period, the court imposed the functional equivalent of a seven-year sentence for an offense which is punishable by a maximum five-year sentence. The State concedes the error.
