Mora v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 28, 1984 · Bark, Dull, Jorgenson, Schwartz
454 So. 2d 92; 9 Fla. L. Weekly 1861; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 14899 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Mora v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reject the defendant’s contention that his claim of self-defense was established as a matter of law. E.g., Darty v. State, 161 So.2d 864 (Fla. 2d DCA 1964), cert. denied, 168 So.2d 147 (Fla. 1964). Accordingly, the convictions for second degree-murder and attempted second degree-murder under review are affirmed. The sentences are modified, however, to the extent only of providing that the three-year minimum mandatory provisions imposed pursuant to Sec. 775.087(2), Fla.Stat. (1981) shall be served concurrently rather than consecutively. Palmer v. State, 438 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1983); Parson v. State, 450 So.2d 924 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984); Whitehead v. State, 446 So.2d 194 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984).

Affirmed as modified.
