Without question, no matter what law firm or attorney represents you, certain violent crimes committed with a gun, firearm or weapon in Florida will lead to mandatory minimums that you will not be able to avoid. Incarceration will be served in a Florida state prison and you will be segregated with other violent and dangerous offenders.
Florida courts used to have an option where a judge could use discretion in whether or not to impose a lighter sentence. However, in order to cut down on violent crime and repeat, habitual offenders, that is no longer an option. If you are convicted on charges for a violent crime involving a firearm, it will result in a mandatory minimum sentence.
10 Year Mandatory Minimum
- Possession of a gun, firearm or weapon in the commission of a crime (even if the weapon was not discharged)
10 Year Mandatory Minimum
- Discharge of a gun, firearm or weapon during the commission of a crime
Life in Prison
- When the discharge of a gun, firearm or weapon during the commission of any crime causes injury to a victim, a mandatory life sentence will be imposed.
