NOTICE OF APPEAL

The nature of the Order is a final order adjudicating defendant guilty of the following:

2. Count Two: 10.6625 Years Department of Corrections with credit time served for 566 days.
3. Counts Three-Eight: 364 days jail with credit for 364 days.
PWInsider also notes that the appeal is not an attempt to overturn Sytch’s guilty verdict in the criminal case, but how the judge used Florida law in determining her sentence. Sytch’s attorneys are attempting to get the total amount of time reduced.
Sytch was recently transferred from Volusia County Corrections to a prison facility in Ocala, Florida the same day the appeal was filed. Back on November 287, Sytch was sentenced to 17 years plus another 8 years of probation. Sytch is still facing a lawsuit filed by the estate of Julian Lasseter, who was killed in the traffic incident which led to Sytch’s arrest back in March 2022.
