Spinner v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 28, 1997 · Campbell, Schoonover, Whatley
688 So. 2d 1005; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 1788; 1997 WL 87343 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Spinner v. State

Opinion of the Court

WHATLEY, Judge.

Allen Spinner raises several points on appeal of his conviction of second degree murder. We find merit only in his contention that the trial court erred in imposing an upward departure sentence without contemporaneously filing written reasons to support such a sentence. Ree v. State, 565 So.2d 1329 (Fla. 1990).

Accordingly, we affirm Spinner’s convictions but reverse his sentence and remand for resentencing within the guidelines.

CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and SCHOONOVER, J., concur. ■
