No. 88-1962 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | Mar 14, 1989
The trial court failed to provide any reasons for its downward departure from the sentencing guidelines. The defendant concedes, correctly, that a sentence which departs downward from the guidelines must be supported by written reasons as required by section 921.001(6), Florida Statutes (1987), and Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.701(b)(6) and 3.701(d)(ll).
