Justice v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 26, 2004 · Polen, Stone, Warner
873 So. 2d 599; 2004 Fla. App. LEXIS 7349; 2004 WL 1172998 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Justice v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted of aggravated battery pursuant to section 784.045, Florida Statutes (1998), a second degree felony, which has a maximum punishment of fifteen years imprisonment. See § 775.082(3)(c), Fla. Stat. (1998). However, the trial court sentenced her to thirty years as a prison releasee reoffender. The state concedes that the court erred, as under the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act the mandatory sentence of a second degree felony is also fifteen years. See § 775.082(8)(a)2.c.

Reversed and remanded for resentenc-ing.

STONE, WARNER and POLEN, JJ., concur.
