Publisher Description

Michael Perreault appeals an order denying his motion to correct illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Appellant was found guilty of two counts of burglary of an occupied dwelling with an assault or battery with a firearm, kidnapping with a weapon, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was sentenced on each of the felony counts to 12 years incarceration, with a ten year minimum mandatory term, each count to run consecutively. The consecutive ten year minimum mandatory terms were imposed pursuant to section 775.087(2)(a)1., Florida Statutes, known as "The 10-20- Life Law." After trial, appellant pled to a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He received a three year minimum mandatory sentence, running consecutive to the other sentences. Appellant argues that his firearm offenses were committed during a single criminal episode, and he did not point or shoot the firearm at any of the victims. See generally Cook v. State, 775 So. 2d 425 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001). He argues that the sentences are illegal because the court cannot impose consecutive minimum mandatory terms for the firearm offenses committed during a single criminal episode.
