Penalties for Repeat Offenders in Florida
There are strict penalties for probation violators with a violent history. Florida's new Anti-Murder Act imposes strict sanctions for felony probation violators with a history of violent crimes, including holding suspects without bail until the judge determines whether they pose a danger to the community.
Other Florida weapons charge laws include:
- 10 / 20 / Life for Crimes Involving Firearms – This law requires the judge to impose a 10-year prison sentence for anyone in actual possession of a firearm who is convicted for committing or attempting to commit a serious felony.
- Three Strikes Law for Prior Convictions – This law requires the judge to impose a mandatory minimum prison sentence according to the degree of the felony for suspects convicted of a violent crime for the third time, if certain criteria apply.
