WOOD v. STATE

No. 1D13-5829.

148 So.3d 557 (2014)

Trimeka Shanta WOOD, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

October 23, 2014.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy A. Daniels , Public Defender, Tallahassee; Diana L. Johnson of Johnson and Lufrano, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General and Samuel Steinberg , Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


PER CURIAM.

In this appeal, Ms. Trimeka Wood challenges her sentence based on the trial judge's statement that her sentence was based, in part, on her "continued denial of any culpability." Our precedents make clear that a sentence conditioned, even in part, on a defendant's "lack of remorse and claim of innocence" violates due process and warrants remand for resentencing before a new judge. Adkinson v. State, 133 So.3d 607
