When certain felony crime charges include the use of a firearm it is important to know that the State of Florida has the 10-20-Life Statute (775.087) which mandates:

• The minimum prison term is to be served consecutively to any other term of imprisonment imposed.

In order to obtain a conviction for arson the prosecution must prove THEIR THEORY OF THE CRIME beyond a reasonable doubt. If the defense presented by your attorney at trial causes just one jury member to have reasonable doubt as to the accused guilt of committing a weapon - firearm related crime, as it relates to the current trial, the accused cannot be found guilty. If the jury believes that your defense was more credible or viable than the prosecution's case, than you may be acquitted of all charges.
