In Florida, people accused of crimes have numerous protections, including the right to be free from being tried or convicted more than once for the same offense. This does not mean that people cannot be charged with multiple offenses from a single criminal episode, though, if the legislature explicitly authorizes separate punishments, as explained in a recent Florida decision<\/a> where the defendant challenged multiple convictions stemming from the same incident. If you are charged with a violent crime, it is smart to consult an experienced Clearwater violent crime defense attorney to protect your rights.<\/p>\n

History of the Case<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is alleged that the defendant entered a dwelling and committed acts of violence against the victim, who was his girlfriend. Reportedly, the defendant engaged in physical aggression, including punching, choking, kicking, and stabbing the victim. The victim allegedly suffered significant injuries, including a stab wound to her thigh, three fractured ribs, and multiple bruises.<\/p>\n

It is reported that the State charged the defendant with burglary with assault or battery, aggravated battery using a deadly weapon, and felony battery causing great bodily harm. Allegedly, the trial court convicted the defendant of all charges and imposed a sentence of 99.150 months in prison for the aggravated battery and burglary counts, followed by eighteen months of probation. The court also sentenced the defendant to 99.150 months for felony battery, to run concurrently with the other sentences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
