Two weeks ago, Zyvione Jacolby Speed-Mitchell, 26, submitted a plea of no contest to misdemeanor battery despite facing charges of aggravated battery and false imprisonment, both felonies. Speed-Mitchell was sentenced to 364 days in jail; however, as part of the plea deal that was accepted by Judge Robert Groeb, the sentence ran concurrently, i.e., alongside another one-year jail sentence he received for a connected pretrial violation case. He was given credit for nearly half a year of time served.
Court records in Alachua County show Speed-Mitchell has three felony convictions and 47 misdemeanor convictions, along with hundreds of dropped charges.
