Gassaway v. State, 400 So. 2d 1324 (1981)
1981 Fla. App. LEXIS 27955
Ahy, Dan, Grimes, Ott
Gassaway v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant’s conviction is affirmed but his sentence for attempted first degree murder is vacated and remanded for resentencing as attempts to commit a capital felony are sentenced as first degree felonies, which always carry a maximum sentence of thirty years absent a statutory provision authorizing life. See King v. State, 390 So.2d 315 (Fla. 1980). Appellant need not be present at resentencing.
