James v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Jun 20, 1990
561 So. 2d 431 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 88-3262.

May 16, 1990. Rehearing Denied June 20, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Leroy H. Moe, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender and Cherry Grant, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and John M. Koenig, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Appellant was charged in Counts I and V with burglary and was convicted on each count. As conceded by the state, based on Troedel v. State, 462 So.2d 392 (Fla. 1984) and Trotman v. State, 545 So.2d 890 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989) where there was, as here, but one entry of the victims' apartment a dual conviction cannot stand. Accordingly we reverse and remand with instructions to vacate the conviction for burglary under Count II of the Amended Information.

We have considered the remaining points raised by appellant and find that no reversible error has been demonstrated.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent herewith.

WALDEN, GUNTHER and GARRETT, JJ., concur.
