(b) An order granting a new trial.

(d) A ruling on a question of law when the defendant is convicted and appeals from the judgment. Once the state’s cross-appeal is instituted, the appellate court shall review and rule upon the question raised by the state regardless of the disposition of the defendant’s appeal.

(e) The sentence, on the ground that it is illegal.

(f) A judgment discharging a prisoner on habeas corpus.

(g) An order adjudicating a defendant insane under the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.

(h) All other pretrial orders, except that it may not take more than one appeal under this subsection in any case.

(i) A sentence imposed below the lowest permissible sentence established by the Criminal Punishment Code under chapter 921.

(j) A ruling granting a motion for judgment of acquittal after a jury verdict.

(k) An order denying restitution under s. 775.089.

(l) An order or ruling suppressing evidence or evidence in limine at trial.

(m) An order withholding adjudication of guilt in violation of s. 775.08435.

(n) The sentence in a case of capital sexual battery on the ground that it resulted from the circuit court’s failure to comply with sentencing procedures under s. 921.1425, including by striking a notice of intent to seek the death penalty, refusing to impanel a capital jury, or otherwise granting relief that prevents the state from seeking a sentence of death.

(2) An appeal under this section must embody all assignments of error in each pretrial order that the state seeks to have reviewed. The state shall pay all costs of the appeal except for the defendant’s attorney’s fee.
