Campbell v. State

Campbell v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 25, 1975 · Barkdull, Hendry, Pearson
310 So. 2d 319; 1975 Fla. App. LEXIS 13969 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Campbell v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The controlling question on this appeal is:

Whether the trial court erred in imposing upon the defendant separate sentences for rape and unlawful possession of a firearm while engaged in a criminal offense where both charges arose out of the same transaction.

We think that the question is fully answered in the negative by the holding and the reasoning of the Supreme Court of Florida in Estevez v. State, Fla.1975, 313 So.2d 692.

Affirmed.
