Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
I would like to find out a certain judge's sentences. My son requested to be sentenced as a youthful offender and was turned down but I know the judge gave someone with very similar circumstances y.o. I would think if I could find the info and present it to the judge then he would have to reconsider the sentence.

Choosing to sentence someone as a Youthful Offender is discretionary if they meet the requirements for Y.O. sentencing. The key word in the Statute is "may" though. The court can chose to do this on a case by case basis so even if the judge has done this in very similar cases they do not have to.
