Edwards v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Edwards v. State, 639 So. 2d 203 (1994)
1994 Fla. App. LEXIS 7225; 1994 WL 380920
Altenbernd, Danahy, Parker
Edwards v. State
Opinion of the Court
For a single death he caused while driving under the influence, the appellant contends the trial court wrongly adjudicated and sentenced him for two counts: a violation of section 316.193, Florida Statutes (1991) (DUI resulting in death), as well as a violation of section 782.071 (vehicular homicide). Based on our supreme court’s recent case of State v. Chapman, 625 So.2d 838 (Fla. 1993), he is correct. The appellee, the State of Florida, concedes the error.
Accordingly, we strike the conviction for vehicular homicide, affirm the conviction for DUI manslaughter, and remand for resen-tencing.
