He entered a no contest plea to violating his probation, and the State offered a factual basis for his plea. The state alleged that three men entered a cell phone store, bound one of the employee\u2019s arms behind her back, and stoles several phones. Prior to leaving, one of the men sprayed the employee in the face with pepper spray. A short time thereafter, a similar robbery occurred at a different cell phone store. The second store had surveillance video, which ultimately led to the defendant\u2019s arrest. The defendant stipulated to the facts introduced by the State but argued that he played a lesser role in the crimes.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarasotadefenseattorney.com\/blog\/florida-court-overturns-sentence-due-to-scoresheet-error\/#more-369\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a person is convicted of a crime, there are several factors that are considered in determining an appropriate sentence.
