Opinion
No. 3D97-3248.
Opinion filed March 8, 2000.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Marc Schumacher, Judge, L.T. No. 91-20835.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Lisa Walsh and Robert Godfrey, Assistant Public Defenders, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Roberta G. Mandel, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before COPE, SHEVIN and SORONDO, JJ.
Finding that the trial court committed no harmful error, we affirm the defendant's convictions for the crimes of first degree murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm while engaged in a criminal offense.
As concerns the defendant's claims of error as to his sentences, we find merit only in his claim that the trial court's final judgment and sentence incorrectly reflects his sentence on the charge of first degree murder as being life imprisonment without possibility of parole. The trial judge correctly pronounced the sentence as life imprisonment without possibility of parole for twenty-five years. Accordingly, we reverse defendant's sentence on this charge and remand to the trial court so that the written sentence will conform to the trial judge's oral pronouncement.
The state's cross-appeal is moot.
Reversed and remanded with instructions.
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DISPOSED OF.
