Butler v. State, 88-469
Citation | 13 Fla. L. Weekly 1606,530 So.2d 324 |
Decision Date | 07 July 1988 |
Docket Number | No. 88-469,88-469 |
Parties | 13 Fla. L. Weekly 1606 Marcus Duane BUTLER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee. |
Court | Court of Appeal of Florida (US) |
James B. Gibson, Public Defender and Nancye R. Crouch, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee and Kellie A. Nielan, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.
After pleading guilty to strong arm robbery, appellant was sentenced as a youthful offender to serve 4 years with the Department of Corrections to be followed by 2 years of community control. After his release from incarceration he violated his community control and was resentenced to a term of 5 1/2 years' imprisonment, a guidelines sentence, with credit for time already served.
Appellant raises two issues. Relying on Wayne v. State, 513 So.2d 689 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987), he says first that he could not be resentenced for violation of community control because he had already served the incarcerative portion of his sentence. We receded from Wayne in Franklin v. State, 526 So.2d 159 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988), where we pointed out that there was no double jeopardy obstacle to resentencing a defendant for violation of probation or community control which followed a term of incarceration. Violation of probation or community control should be met with appropriate sanctions. The court should not be relegated to the role of a toothless tiger with the ability only to roar when a violation occurs. 1
