May 29, 2007 - Florida State Circuit Court Reduces Sentence from Fifteen to Ten Years

May 29, 2007, State Circuit Court in Sarasota, Florida grants Mr. Kent's 3.850 post conviction motion for client Jason Dostie, reducing sentence from 15 years to 10 years Florida State Prison.  The issue in this case was a common one, involving the failure of trial counsel to properly advise a client of the potential for a sentencing enhancement prior to the client rejecting a state plea offer.  We have had success with variations of this claim in a number of cases.
