Opinion
No. 4D99-4359.
Opinion filed November 22, 2000.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Peter M. Weinstein, Judge; L.T. Case No. 98-15704 CF10A.
J. David Bogenschutz of Bogenschutz Dutko, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Melynda L. Melear, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
Clifford Allen Wood timely appeals after a jury convicted him of two counts of driving under the influence ("DUI") with serious bodily injury and one count of DUI with property damage that arose from a single traffic accident. He argues, among other points, that sentencing him for both the bodily injury DUI's (2 victims) and the property damage DUI offenses violated the principles of double jeopardy. The supreme court, however, has held otherwise. See State v. Salazar, 679 So.2d 1183 (Fla. 1996); accord Jackson v. State, 634 So.2d 1103 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994). Thus, we hold his sentences were proper.
Of the remaining points on appeal, we affirm without further comment.
