Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Amended arraignment

My daughter got a notice to go to a amended arraignment I'm not sure what this means. She went to court at the end of March for her sentencing and the judge gave my daughter a huge break that the district attorneys weren't so happy about. Could the district attorneys changed their minds? Is that why she has to go back to court or is it just because the judge changed the sentencing and this is procedure? I'm so lost when it comes to law. help

Re: Amended arraignment

Its hard to say. An amended arraignment is when the da changes the charge. It can a change for the better or for the worse. If the judge actually sentenced her, they cant change the case becuase its closed. If the case is still pending they could change the charge to try and stop the judge. Feel free to call me if you have another question.
