Opinion
No. 89-2172.
October 31, 1990. Rehearing Denied December 18, 1990.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; John G. Ferris, Retired Judge.
Diane V. Ward, Miami, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and John Tiedemann, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
The appellant, Ruperto Almanza, was convicted of trafficking in cocaine and conspiracy to traffic in cocaine and was sentenced to fifteen (15) years in the Department of Corrections and a $250,000.00 fine.
The state concedes a Richardson violation which requires a reversal and remand. Richardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1971); Smith v. State, 500 So.2d 125 (Fla. 1987).
We affirm as to the remaining appellate points.
AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART AND REMANDED.
DOWNEY and WALDEN, JJ., and WESSEL, JOHN D., Associate Judge, concur.
