| 00:10 | - Good morning, everybody.
|
| 00:11 | We are here today for the sentencing of defendant, John Smith.
|
| 00:14 | As you know, Mr. Smith is charged with one count of possession of controlled substance.
|
| 00:19 | A third degree felony in the state of Florida.
|
| 00:22 | I have reviewed all written mitigation and aggravation that was provided by both parties in this case.
|
| 00:28 | Are the parties ready to proceed?
|
| 00:29 | - Yes, Your Honor, the State's ready to proceed.
|
| 00:32 | Yes, Your Honor, defense as well.
|
| 00:33 | Mr. Prosecutor, before sentence is imposed, please provide me all of the defendant's prior criminal history.
|
| 00:41 | - Your Honor, the defendant has no prior criminal history known to the State.
|
| 00:45 | - [Judge] Thank you, Counsel.
|
| 00:46 | Will the defendant please rise.
|
| 00:51 | Mr. Smith, having taken into consideration the mitigation and the aggravation in this case, |
| 00:56 | I am imposing a sentence of 18 months of probation, given your lack of criminal history, a period of incarceration would not be appropriate.
|
| 01:05 | Does the prosecution or defense want to be heard before adjourning for the day?
