Opinion
No. 5D99-3362.
Opinion filed January 12, 2001.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, R. James Stroker, Judge.
Affirmed in part; Reversed in part; and Remanded.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Rebecca M. Becker, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.
Tyrone Davis, Lowell, pro se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kellie A. Nielan, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.
The appellant, Tyrone Davis, was tried and convicted of robbery with a firearm and one count of grand theft, third degree. The grand theft was a lesser included offense of the robbery because there was a single taking. Taylor v. State, 751 So.2d 659 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999), rev. denied, 770 So.2d 161 (Fla. 2000). This double jeopardy violation constitutes fundamental error. See Thomas v. State, 745 So.2d 1119 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999); Sneed v. State, 749 So.2d 545 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000).
Accordingly, we reverse the judgment and sentence in regard to grand theft and remand for resentencing.
