Opinion
No. 88-3334.
August 28, 1991.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for St. Lucie County; L.B. Vocelle, Judge.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Susan D. Cline, 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.
We affirm appellant's convictions but reverse his sentence and remand for resentencing within the sentencing guidelines. We find the trial court erred as to the reasons given for departure, the failure to contemporaneously provide written reasons, and in failing to have appellant actually present at the sentencing hearing. See e.g., Jacobs v. State, 567 So.2d 16 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990).
ANSTEAD, GUNTHER and FARMER, JJ., concur.
