Lewis v. State

Lewis v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 22, 1989 · Ferguson, Gersten, Hubbart
547 So. 2d 1031; 14 Fla. L. Weekly 1975; 1989 Fla. App. LEXIS 4702; 1989 WL 97591 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Lewis v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The State concedes that the defendant, convicted of robbery with a firearm, cannot be convicted of the separate crime of display of a firearm while committing that robbery. Hall v. State, 517 So.2d 678 (Fla. 1988) (defendant may not be punished twice for the single act of displaying a firearm or carrying a firearm while committing a robbery). No reversible error is shown by the other points raised on appeal. See Ross v. State, 474 So.2d 1170 (Fla. 1985); Wilkerson v. State, 461 So.2d 1376 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985).

The conviction and sentence for robbery are affirmed; the conviction for display of a firearm is reversed.
