Mosher v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

578 So. 2d 900 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 90-1316.

May 8, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, St. Lucie County, Charles E. Smith, J.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tanja Ostapoff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Patricia G. Lampert, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm appellant's conviction, but we do so without prejudice to appellant to seek relief under Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.850. We reverse the sentence imposed, however, and hold that the trial court erred when it assessed points for victim injury in arriving at the guidelines sentence. The jury found appellant guilty of attempted sexual battery and we find no record support for the assessment of points for victim injury. Victim injury is not an element of the crime of attempted sexual battery. Woodfin v. State, 553 So.2d 1355 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989). Accordingly, we remand for resentencing.

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART and REMANDED.

LETTS, DELL and STONE, JJ., concur.
