Cromartie v. State

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a trial judge’s arbitrary sentencing policy was fundamental error
• holding the trial court’s stated policy of rounding up the sentence was a fundamental error because it improperly extended incarceration in an arbitrary manner
• stating that a violation of due process is a pure question of law
• noting that where there is no contemporaneous objection and where error cannot be raised in a rule 3.800(b) motion, the error can be remedied on appeal if the error is fundamental
• reversing for fundamental error because the trial court refused to consider a legislatively-authorized sentencing option as a matter of general policy
• invalidating sentence entered under a judge’s stated policy of always rounding sentences up to the next whole year
