Opinion
No. 82-2100.
June 17, 1983.
Appeal from Circuit Court, Collier County; Ted Brousseau, Judge.
Jerry Hill, Public Defender, Bartow, and Amelia G. Brown, Asst. Public Defender, Tampa, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Diane Barrs, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
We find error only in the court's assessment of costs. Accordingly, we strike the trial court's assessment of $500 court costs, $20 assessed for the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund, and $2 assessed for the Law Enforcement Officers Training Trust Fund. These assessments were improper since appellant had been adjudged insolvent. Cox v. State, 334 So.2d 568 (Fla. 1976); Johnson v. State, 403 So.2d 626 (Fla. 2d DCA 1981). Otherwise, we affirm the judgment and sentence of the trial court.
We previously certified to the supreme court the question of whether costs may be assessed for the Crimes Compensation Trust Fund and Law Enforcement Officers Training Trust Fund against a defendant who has been adjudged insolvent. Brown v. State, 427 So.2d 271 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983).
BOARDMAN, A.C.J., and SCHEB and SCHOONOVER, JJ., concur.
