Controversy Over Shock Sentence Law Sparks Appeals
The shock sentence ordinance faces constitutional challenges as it penalties exceed state law for marijuana offenses under 100 pounds. Local officials, including Gardner, defend the measure with limited exceptions for cooperation or case-specific circumstances. The law has been upheld by the Circuit Court after a Houston man’s case, with Public Defender Becky Titus pursuing an appeal to end it. Local officials plan to expand the law to heroin and methalqualone, and Sarasota County agrees to weekend prison labor on the road gang.
