Collier v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal February 10, 1995

Collier v. State, 649 So. 2d 363 (1995)

1995 Fla. App. LEXIS 1185; 1995 WL 51126

Griffin, Harris, Peterson

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Defendant contends that because he is mentally ill and addicted to drags, his sentence1 of twenty-five years as a habitual violent felony offender is cruel and/or unusual. Alternatively, he contends the lower court reversibly erred in refusing a downward departure sentence. We find no merit in either argument and affirm the judgments and sentence.

AFFIRMED.

HARRIS, C.J., and PETERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.

. The guidelines’ permitted range for his offenses was twelve to twenty-seven years. The defendant was sentenced on ten felonies including armed burglary of a dwelling. His prior record consisted of fourteen felonies, including robbery with a deadly weapon, and three misdemeanors.
