“As this court has recently recognized, `the general rule in Florida is that when a sentence is within statutory limits, it is not subject to review by an appellate court.' An exception is made, however, where the defendant's constitutional rights are violated in the imposition of sentence. And, ... it is a violation of a defendant's due process rights for the court to rely upon conduct for which the defendant has actually been acquitted in imposing sentence.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Florida case law does indeed hold that a trial judge may not rely upon conduct for which the defendant has been acquitted in imposing sentence and that to do so is a violation of the defendant's due process rights.”
