Saylor v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Saylor v. State, 816 So. 2d 1254 (2002)
2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 7640; 2002 WL 1072068
Harris, Palmer, Sharp

Saylor v. State

Opinion of the Court

HARRIS, J.

There appears to be more problems with this oft reviewed case, problems arising under Heggs v. State, 759 So.2d 620 (Fla. 2000). It appears that Saylor’s primary offense at sentencing (attempted second degree murder) should have been scored as a level 8 offense instead of a level 9. Further, the one level increase because of the use of a firearm should not apply during the Heggs window period. See Salters v. State, 758 So.2d 667 (Fla. 2000).

We reject Saylor’s Apprendi argument.

This matter is remanded to the trial court for resentencing and the new sentence may be any sentence which the court could have imposed at the original sentencing. See Trotter v. State, 801 So.2d 1041 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001), rev. granted, Table No. SC02-14 (Fla. Apr. 30, 2002).

REVERSED and REMANDED for re-sentencing.

SHARP, W., and PALMER, JJ., concur.
