Tullis v. State
Tullis v. State
779 So. 2d 278; 1998 WL 428806
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Tullis v. State
Opinion of the Court
The appellant entered a non-negotiated plea of guilty to the charge of robbery with a weapon, a first-degree felony. Pursuant to section 775.084(4)(c)l., Florida Statutes (1995), the trial court sentenced the appellant as a violent career criminal to life in prison with a mandatory minimum term of thirty years. The statute, however, does not provide for a mandatory minimum term in the case of a first-degree felony. We therefore strike the mandatory minimum term imposed. We affirm the judgment and life sentence in all other respects.
Affirmed; mandatory minimum stricken.
