Johnson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

956 So. 2d 546 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2007)

Opinion

No. 1D06-4274.

May 21, 2007.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Gadsden County. P. Kevin Davey, Judge.

Willie Jackson Johnson, pro se, Appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Daniel A. David, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


The appellant challenges the trial court's summary denial of his postconviction motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.853. Because the appellant's motion is facially sufficient, and the trial court neither held an evidentiary hearing nor attached portions of the record indicating that identity was not an issue or that the DNA evidence would not exonerate the appellant, we reverse the trial court's denial. See Schofield v. State, 861 So.2d 1244 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

BENTON, PADOVANO, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
