Slocum v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 11, 1996 · Dell, Klein, Pariente
679 So. 2d 359; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 9668; 1996 WL 512050 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Slocum v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm appellant’s conviction and with the exception of the trial court’s imposition of a three-year mandatory minimum sentence for possession of a firearm, we affirm the sentences imposed. The state concedes and we agree that the imposition of a three-year mandatory minimum sentence must be reversed for lack of a jury finding that appellant used or carried a firearm during the commission of the offenses. See State v. Tripp, 642 So.2d 728 (Fla. 1994); State v. Overfelt, 457 So.2d 1385 (Fla. 1984).

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART.

DELL, KLEIN and PARIENTE, JJ., concur.
