Harrison v. Wainwright

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Dec 26, 1975
325 So. 2d 423 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1975)

Opinion

No. 74-1663.

December 26, 1975.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Criminal Justice Division, Orange County, Peter M. deManio, J.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Craig Barnard, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for petitioner.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and C. Marie Bernard, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for respondent.


We have considered all of petitioner's points on appeal and find no reversible error demonstrated except as to the sentence imposed. It appears the trial court overlooked granting petitioner credit for time served in the county jail prior to sentencing, as required by § 921.161, F.S. 1973.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of conviction but reverse the sentence and remand the cause with directions that the trial court either (a) resentence petitioner with credit for time served in the county jail prior to sentencing, or (b) enter an order reducing the sentence without calling the petitioner back before the court. Hollingshead v. State, Fla.App. 1974, 292 So.2d 617.

Reversed and remanded with directions.

MAGER and DOWNEY, JJ., and TEDDER, GEORGE W., Jr., Associate Judge, concur.
