Nelson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

600 So. 2d 1317 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 90-02980.

July 23, 1992.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County; E. Vernon Douglas, Judge.

Nancy Daniels, Public Defender, and Nancy L. Showalter, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Amelia L. Beisner, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of one count of sale of cocaine and one count of possession of cocaine with intent to sell, arising from a transaction which took place on September 29, 1989, and one count of sale of cocaine and one count of possession of cocaine with intent to sell, arising from a transaction which took place on October 6, 1989.

Appellant raises three arguments, only one of which requires reversal. On the face of the record, we must agree with appellant that the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law to support his convictions arising from the September 29 transaction. We must, therefore, remand this case to the trial court with instructions to enter a judgment of acquittal as to these counts. Appellant's convictions and sentences on the remaining two counts are affirmed.

BOOTH, WIGGINTON and WEBSTER, JJ., concur.
