Jason W. Reed v. Ricky D. Dixon, Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections
HabeasCorpus
Whether counsel's admitted misadvice regarding Petitioner's designation as a sexual predator and the resulting lifetime supervision amounted to gross misinformation, prejudicing Petitioner's acceptance of a lengthier plea to avoid post-prison supervision
No question identified. : i Question Two plea offers were made available by the State : 1) twenty years prison with a [negotiable] term of probation and sex offender designation; or 2) twenty-five , years prison with no probation and sex offender designation. Contrary to the above offers, a first degree felony conviction to sexual battery in violation of F.S. 794.011(4); requires, mandatory designation as a sexual predator pursuant to FS. 775.21(5)(a)2, at the time of sentencing.
