Opinion
Case No. 97-187.
Opinion filed July 23, 1997.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Ronald Dresnick, Judge.
John T. Balikes, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Keith S. Kromash, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before COPE, GREEN, and SORONDO, JJ.
CONFESSION OF ERROR
Upon the State's proper confession of error, we reverse the appellant's twenty-seven year sentence for attempted second degree murder as being illegal in that it exceeds the statutory maximum sentence for this offense. Attempted second degree murder is a second degree felony for which the maximum sentence is fifteen years. See § 777.04(4)(c), § 782.04(2), Fla. Stat. (1991); § 775.082(3)(c), Fla. Stat. (1991). We therefore remand this cause for resentencing.
Reversed and remanded.
