Jones v. State, 528 So. 2d 490 (1988)
13 Fla. L. Weekly 1622; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 2962; 1988 WL 70684
Anstead, Glickstein, Gunther

Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm on the authority of Carawan v. State, 515 So.2d 161 (Fla. 1987).

GLICKSTEIN and GUNTHER, JJ., concur. ANSTEAD, J., concurs specially with opinion.

Concurring Opinion

ANSTEAD, Judge,

concurring specially.

I write separately only to acknowledge that we are approving separate convictions for both aggravated battery and armed robbery growing out of a single incident. This holding may appear to conflict with the decision in Wright v. State, 519 So.2d *4911157 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988), that convictions for both aggravated assault and robbery with a firearm cannot stand under Cara-wan. In my view the aggravated battery statute and the armed robbery statute are intended to address two (2) separate evils: one, the infliction of physical violence on a person, and the other, the forcible taking of personal property from the person. Hence, in my view the legislature intended that separate convictions be allowed if physical violence is committed during the course of an armed robbery.
