386 So. 2d 1298 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1980)

Opinion

No. 78-1586.

August 20, 1980.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Palm Beach County; Marvin U. Mounts, Jr., Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Mark Horn, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We have reviewed all of appellant's points on appeal and find no error demonstrated except the conviction and sentence of appellant on Count IV of the indictment. The aggravated assault upon Mrs. Johns was an element of the crime of robbery of Mrs. Johns. Since appellant was convicted and sentenced for that robbery, he can not also be convicted and sentenced on the lesser included offense.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and sentence in all respects except as to the conviction and sentence for Count IV and remand the case to the trial court with directions to vacate the judgment of conviction and sentence on Count IV.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; AND REMANDED with directions.

DOWNEY, HERSEY and GLICKSTEIN, JJ., concur.
