Morgan v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Morgan v. State, 417 So. 2d 1027 (1982)
1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 28604
Barkdull, Baskin, Schwartz
Morgan v. State
Opinion of the Court
In Florida attempted second degree murder is recognized as a crime. Littles v. State, 384 So.2d 744 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980).
It is also a “necessarily included” lesser of the offense of attempted first degree murder, and therefore, the trial court was correct in giving such an instruction when the defendant was charged with attempted first degree murder. Brown v. State, 206 So.2d 377 (Fla. 1968).
Therefore the conviction, adjudication and sentence are affirmed.
Affirmed.
