    STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. David Melbourne LINDSAY, Appellee.
    1 May 2015
    The court accepted Lindsay's open plea of guilty and, though Lindsay's minimum guideline sentence was 51 months in the Department of Corrections, the court imposed a significant downward departure sentence of two years of community control to be followed by ten years of probation.
    Because the two grounds utilized by the trial judge for imposing the downward departure sentence were either legally insufficient or not supported by competent, substantial evidence...the sentence is reversed. On remand, the trial court is not precluded from imposing a downward departure sentence if such a sentence is supported by valid grounds. Jackson. Otherwise, the court must impose a guideline sentence.
