2011Nonetheless, the decision here shows the foresight in the concern of the Ashley dissenters, 850 So.2d at 1271 (Harding, Senior Justice, dissenting), that the majority’s opinion there would “turn sentencing hearings into the game-like atmosphere that the United States Supreme Court condemned in [United States v. DiFrancesco, 449 U.S. 117, 135 , 101 S.Ct. 426 , 66 L.Ed.2d 328 (1980) ],” where it observed that “the Constitution does not require that sentencing should be a game in which a wrong move by the judge means immunity for the prisoner.” Akins is entitled to no relief.
