Arson and Criminal Mischief Punishments

Each of these types of crimes, Arson, Criminal Mischief, and Burning to Defraud an Insurer, carries a serious penalty, and a defendant in Florida will face an aggressive prosecution. Many people do not realize that Florida’s 10-20-Life law applies to the crime of Arson. That means that a person facing a first-degree felony arson charge could be serving a minimum of 10 or 20 years, and up to a maximum of 30 years or life. Prosecutors vigorously prosecute Arson and Criminal Mischief charges, as many Florida State Attorney’s Offices have a specialized arson unit dedicated to prosecuting these crimes. You should not face these charges alone.
