Pride v. State
Pride v. State
Opinion of the Court
A jury found appellant guilty of attempted second degree murder
On appeal, appellant first urges that the habitual offender statute is unconstitutional. This argument has previously been rejected by this court. See King v. State, 557 So.2d 899 (Fla. 5th DCA), review denied, 564 So.2d 1086 (Fla. 1990).
Appellant next contends and the State concedes, that consecutive 3 year minimum mandatory sentences may not be imposed for consecutive sentences arising from the same criminal episode. McGourik v. State, 493 So.2d 1016 (Fla. 1986). We also note that section 775.087(2)(a), Florida Statutes (1989) does not provide for the imposition of a 3 year minimum mandatory sentence for the offense of shooting into an occupied vehicle. Accordingly, we vacate that part of appellant’s sentence for shooting into an occupied vehicle which imposes the 3 year minimum mandatory. Appellant’s convictions and sentences are affirmed in all other respects.
Sentence PARTIALLY VACATED, convictions and sentence as modified are AFFIRMED.
. §§ 782.04(2) and 777.04(4)(d), Fla.Stat. (1989).
