It adds no other requirements for this exception to apply. For example, in Sedell v. State, 224 So.3d 885, 886 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2017), the state and defendant agreed the negotiated sentences were illegal because they exceeded the statutory maximums. Without discussion of any other factors to apply, the court remanded to "impose sentences . . . within the statutory maximum of fifteen years if the [s]tate agrees to resentencing.
That Thornton's sentences were part of a plea agreement is inconsequential. See Sedell v. State, 224 So. 3d 885, 886-87 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017) ("[A] defendant is entitled to relief on a rule 3.800(a) motion when an illegal sentence results from a negotiated plea."). Thornton's sentences are illegal; life sentences were not imposed and the ninety-year sentences exceed the maximum forty-year term.
