James KINGSLEY, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Susan A. Fagan, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Anthony J. Hall, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.
GOSHORN, Judge.
James Kingsley appeals the final judgment and sentence entered following a violation of probation. We affirm Kingsley's conviction, but must reverse and remand for resentencing because a revised sentencing guidelines scoresheet reflecting 40 points for severe victim injury was utilized rather than the original scoresheet, which allotted only 4 points because victim injury had been determined to be slight.
We reject the State's argument that we should affirm based upon Roberts v. State,
Now that ... [the defendant] has committed a new crime and violated his probation, we see no reason to perpetuate the error. Justice is not served by awarding a defendant something to which he is not entitled.
Id. However, the fact that points were mistakenly omitted in Roberts distinguishes that case from the instant matter. Here, there was a determination at the original sentencing that the victim only suffered slight injury, and thus, Kingsley was awarded 4 points for that infraction.[1] Accordingly, *642 we reverse Kingsley's sentence and remand to the trial court for it to sentence Kingsley utilizing the original guidelines scoresheet. See Williams v. State,
AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.
W. SHARP and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
NOTES
Notes
[1] The State asserts that the facts of this case warrant 40 victim injury points because kicking the victim "in the legs and mid-section ... constitutes more than slight injury." However, there is nothing in the record to support this contention. In fact, the evidence tends to show that the injury was slight because Kingsley was never ordered to pay restitution for such items as medical expenses, physical therapy, or lost income.
