White v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
White v. State, 571 So. 2d 498 (1990)
1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 7847; 1990 WL 152195
Campbell, Ryder, Schoonover
White v. State
Opinion of the Court
We affirm appellant’s convictions and sentences for two counts of sale of cocaine. We vacate the convictions and sentences for two counts of possession of cocaine on the authority of V.A.A. v. State, 561 So.2d 314 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). As in V.A.A., we certify to the Florida Supreme Court the following question of great public importance:
WHEN A DOUBLE JEOPARDY VIOLATION IS ALLEGED BASED ON THE CRIMES OF SALE AND POSSESSION (OR POSSESSION WITH INTENT TO SELL) OF THE SAME QUANTUM OF CONTRABAND AND THE CRIMES OCCURRED AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SECTION 775.021, FLORIDA STATUTES (1988 SUPP.), IS IT IMPROPER TO CONVICT AND SENTENCE FOR BOTH CRIMES?
