Gonzalez v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Dec 5, 1972
268 So. 2d 552 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1972)

Opinion

No. 72-415.

November 14, 1972. Rehearing Denied December 5, 1972.

Appeal from the Criminal Court of Record for Dade County, Paul Baker, J.

Sky E. Smith, Miami, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Richard D. Rosen, Legal Intern, Joel D. Rosenblatt, Supervising Atty., for appellee.

Before BARKDULL, C.J., and CHARLES CARROLL and HENDRY, JJ.


We have considered the various points raised by appellant, but find no merit therein. The evidence amply supports the entry of the judgments of conviction, and appellant has failed to adequately preserve his attack upon the counts relating to his sale and possession of cocaine, a narcotic drug, on August 13, 1971.

We remand with directions to vacate the sentence imposed pursuant to convictions under the counts charging unlawful possession of cocaine, since these sentences are contrary to the rule enunciated in Yost v. State, Fla.App. 1971, 243 So.2d 469 and Easton v. State, Fla.App. 1971, 250 So.2d 294. In all other respects, the judgments and sentences are affirmed.

Affirmed in part and reversed in part with directions.
