Wise v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Mar 20, 1991
576 So. 2d 428 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 88-2832.

March 20, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, St. Lucie County, Rupert Jasen Smith, J.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Jeffrey L. Anderson, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Lynn Waxman, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


ON MOTION FOR REHEARING


We grant appellant's motion for rehearing, withdraw our earlier opinion and substitute the following:

We affirm the conviction for burglary of a dwelling with intent to commit assault pursuant to section 810.02(2)(a), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1990). We reverse the sentence imposed on the burglary count and remand for resentencing. It is error for the trial court to sentence the appellant for the enhanced burglary charge without a jury finding that the assault occurred. State v. Overfelt, 457 So.2d 1385 (Fla. 1984).

We affirm the conviction for three counts of sexual battery pursuant to section 794.011(4)(b). However, the state concedes that the trial court erred in sentencing the appellant in excess of the statutory maximum sentence of imprisonment for a period not to exceed thirty years. Thus, we reverse the sentences imposed on the sexual battery counts and remand for resentencing on those counts.

REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.

GLICKSTEIN, GUNTHER and STONE, JJ., concur.
