Omar Wilson v. State of Florida
no.01-2083 & 01-2333
Broward County & Orange County
These cases involve judges who made plea offers that the defendants rejected.
Both defendants ultimately received more severe sentences than the original offer
and appealed arguing their respective sentences were vindictive. The Fifth District
reversed in one of the cases, but the Fourth District affirmed the other case.
