Matthew Marana v. State of Florida

Matthew Maraña appeals his conviction and sentence arising from on online sting in which he travelled to meet “a minor” and “her sister” for sex. On appeal, he makes two arguments that his conviction should be overturned because law enforcement officers violated his due process rights and impermissibly entrapped him. He also argues to be resentenced because the trial court simply modified his illegal sentence- when a new sentencing hearing was required. We affirm Appellant’s conviction without additional discussion, but reverse and remand for a resentencing hearing.
