"Affirmed and Remanded." That is something you don't see everyday. Usually you see "Affirmed" or "Reversed and Remanded" when you appeal a criminal conviction or sentence. But in this case the Eighth District Court of Appeals overruled the defendant/appellant's arguments but noticed an error the defendant's lawyer did not notice. At the sentencing hearing, the trial judge sentenced the defendant to ten years in prison. But the sentencing entry stated that the defendant was sentenced to eleven years in prison. Certainly the defendant can be grateful that the Court of Appeals caught the error. Read the decision by clicking here.
