Description

This is a petition to review Jones v. State, 517 So.2d 121 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987), in which the district court approved a departure
sentence enhanced by the habitual offender statute and based on grounds that Jones had committed "the instant offense eight
days after being released from his third separate prison commitment"; that his behavior "demonstrates a continuing escalating
pattern of criminal conduct"; and, since he had been "placed on probation he has been convicted of three additional grand
thefts which could not be scored under the guidelines." In approving the sentence, the district court certified the following
question as one of great public importance: Does Whitehead v. State, 498 So 2d 863 (Fla. 1986) prevent the use of the habitual offender statute to enhance a defendant's
sentence beyond the recommended guidelines sentence and beyond the maximum statutory penalty where there are otherwise valid
grounds for departure?
