February 28, 2008 - Sentence Reduced by Five Years Based on 3.800 Motion

February 28, 2008, Florida Circuit Court in West Palm Beach granted 3.800 motion for client Christopher Reinhart, reducing his sentence five years.  This sentence reduction came more than fifteen years after the original guilty plea and sentencing and was based on a claim of fundamental sentencing error.  The fundamental sentencing error was a double jeopardy problem arising out of a Quarterman sentencing proceeding.
