Durdick v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Oct 11, 1985
476 So. 2d 317 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1985)

Opinion

No. 84-1980.

October 11, 1985.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Lee County, R. Wallace Pack, J.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and John T. Kilcrease, Jr., Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Candance M. Sunderland, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


After reviewing the briefs and record on appeal, we find that the appellant has failed to demonstrate any reversible error and, accordingly, we affirm his conviction. However, we must remand to the trial court because of a clerical error in the court's written judgment.

Although the jury returned a verdict of guilty of first degree murder and the appellant was orally found guilty of first degree murder, the written judgment recites that he is guilty of second degree murder. The written judgment must not vary from the court's oral pronouncement. Jackson v. State, 445 So.2d 407 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984).

Accordingly, we remand this cause to the trial court for correction of the error. The judgment and sentence are affirmed in all other respects.

DANAHY, A.C.J., and CAMPBELL and SCHOONOVER, JJ., concur.
