Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1991

Bing v. State

Bing v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 27, 1991 · Cobb, Cowart, Griffin
590 So. 2d 561; 1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 13452; 1991 WL 273708 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Bing v. State

Opinion of the Court

COBB, Judge.

The appellant, Richard B. Bing, challenges his sentence, which was based on the use of a “multiplier” for legal constraint for multiple counts. Based on the recent Florida Supreme Court opinion Flowers v. State, 586 So.2d 1058 (Fla. 1991), we must reverse and remand for a new sentence.

We disagree with the appellant s second contention that the jury verdict in this case lacked the requisite specificity to support the minimum mandatory prison term of eight years required by section 775.087(2), Florida Statutes (1989).

REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR NEW SENTENCE.

COWART and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
