Opinion
No. 4D99-3105.
Opinion filed June 21, 2000.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Susan Lebow, Judge; L.T. No. 98-15185 CF 10A.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Frank J. Ingrassia, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
Colije Edwards appeals from his conviction and sentence for burglary with a battery and aggravated battery. Edwards argues that his conviction for aggravated battery must be vacated under the double jeopardy clause citing Crawford v. State, 662 So.2d 1016 (Fla. 5th DCA 1995). This court recently decided this issue in Blevins v. State, No. 4D99-0848 (Fla. 4th DCA Apr. 12, 2000), finding that the two charges are separate offenses under section 775.021, Florida Statutes (1997), and certifying conflict withCrawford. Edwards's arguments on this issue and all other points raised are without merit. We affirm.
AFFIRMED.
POLEN, KLEIN and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.
