05/09/2007 ORAL ARGUMENT HELD
10/25/2007 DISP-APPROVED In this case, the Fourth District applied the could-have-been-imposed test to Brooks's rule 3.800(a) claim. The trial court sentenced Brooks to ten years' imprisonment for the carjacking, but it legally could have imposed a thirty-year sentence for the first-degree crime. We approve the Fourth District's decision. We disapprove the decision in Wilson to the extent it is inconsistent with this opinion.
