Ward v. State
Ward v. State
696 So. 2d 1317; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 8657; 1997 WL 402516
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Opinion of the Court
We affirm the denial of appellant’s motion to correct illegal sentence, but direct the trial court to correct a clerical error in the judgment and sentence. Appellant entered a plea of guilty to one count of murder in the first degree, a capital felony pursuant to section 782.04(l)(a), Florida Statutes. The judgment and sentence form, however, incorrectly lists this offense as a life felony. Appellant need not be present for this ministerial correction.
