Clark v. State

Clark v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 3, 1997 · Gunther, Shahood, Stone
701 So. 2d 912; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 13357; 1997 WL 740674 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Clark v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Eugene Clark, appeals from his conviction and sentence for armed kidnapping, armed robbery, and armed burglary. We affirm in all respects, but we reverse Appellant’s sentence and remand for resen-tencing. Since there was no evidence presented at trial that Appellant had personally used a weapon in committing the crimes charged, it was error for the trial court to enhance Appellant’s sentence based on the fact that co-defendants used a firearm during the commission of the crimes charged. See State v. Rodriguez, 602 So.2d 1270, 1272 *913(Fla. 1992); Williams v. State, 622 So.2d 456, 465 (Fla. 1993).

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; AND REMANDED.

STONE, C.J., and GUNTHER and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
