Walker v. State
Walker v. State
Opinion of the Court
Robert J. Walker appeals his convictions for manslaughter, driving with a license suspended or revoked, leaving the scene of an accident, and resisting arrest without violence. Of the two issues he raises, we find merit in one, for which we reverse and remand for correction of the judgment.
We reject Walker’s argument that the trial court erred in admitting the statement he made to the arresting officer, in violation of his Miranda
Walker asserts that an error exists on the judgment entered. The State concedes error. The trial court orally adjudicated Walker guilty of the misdemeanors of driving with a suspended license and leaving the scene of an accident. The judgment must be corrected to show these offenses, rather than the greater felony offenses listed.
Accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions to the trial court to enter a new judgment consistent with the orally pronounced adjudications.
Reversed and remanded.
