(1) A defendant may appeal from: (a) A final judgment of conviction when probation has not been granted under chapter 948, except as provided in subsection (3); (b) An order granting probation under chapter 948; (c) An order revoking probation under chapter 948; (d) A sentence, on the ground that it is illegal; or (e) A sentence imposed under s. 921.0024 of the Criminal Punishment Code which exceeds the statutory maximum penalty provided in s. 775.082 for an offense at conviction, or the consecutive statutory maximums for offenses at conviction, unless otherwise provided by law. (2) An appeal of an order granting probation shall proceed in the same manner and have the same effect as an appeal of a judgment of conviction.
