HABITUAL OFFENDERS
Florida imposes harsher penalties on defendants with multiple prior convictions, as is typical for most states.
A defendant with two or more prior felony convictions in Florida, or under any other law in the United States, faces an increased penalty for subsequent convictions.
- A conviction for a felony of the first-degree may be sentenced to a period of incarceration of up to life.
- A conviction for a felony of the second degree may be sentenced to a period of incarceration of up to 30 years.
- A conviction of a felony of a third degree may be sentenced to a period of incarceration of up to ten years.
Drug sale defense lawyers can help defendants review the statute to determine whether past convictions could result in an enhanced penalty.
* See Florida Criminal Code Section 775.084 for more information.
