Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
My boyfriend was sentenced to 8 years in prison and a few days after being sentenced the judge reduced the time to five years. This was never chanted in the system, he has been in for four yrs now and we have tried motions and writing the judge. None of this has worked the state attorney has not helped either. We have the case papers where it says sentence to be amended on count 3, which is the eight yr charge. And a response from judges secretary that says it was already reduced, that he was originally sentenced to 13 and reduced by 5 to make eight. But that is all wrong he was never sentenced 13. Though the math is wrong this letter does show that a reduction was supposed to occur in his sentence what can we do to get this corrected. Thank you for all your help.

You need to contact a local criminal defense lawyer. He or she will be able to set a hearing for clarification of the sentence.
Good luck,
