State of Florida v. Hackley
Annotate this Case
Hackley was convicted of burglary of a conveyance with a person assaulted, arising out of a 2006 incident in which Hackley assaulted two individuals, one of whom was inside a car. Because the offense occurred less than three years after he had been released from serving another sentence in state prison, the trial court sentenced Hackley to life in prison as a prison releasee reoffender under section 775.082(9)(a)1, Florida Statutes. The trial court granted a motion to correct, finding that the crime for which he was convicted did not qualify him for PRR sentencing. The appeals court affirmed. Noting a conflict between districts, the Florida Supreme Court held that burglary of a conveyance with an assault is a qualifying offense under the PRR statute.
