Hill v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 9, 2002 · Casanueva, Green, Parker
827 So. 2d 388; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 14530; 2002 WL 31260632 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hill v. State

Opinion of the Court

CASANUEVA, Judge.

We affirm Roosevelt Hill’s conviction for second-degree murder but reverse his sentence. Mr. Hill challenges his equal concurrent sentences of life imprisonment as both a violent career criminal and a prison releasee reoffender. The State concedes the error. See Grant v. State, 770 So.2d 655 (Fla. 2000); Sanders v. State, 816 So.2d 1267 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002); Smith v. State, 813 So.2d 1002 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002).

Reversed and remanded to the trial court with directions to vacate the violent career criminal sentence.
