Guthrie v. State
Guthrie v. State
Opinion of the Court
Cornell Guthrie appeals his probation revocation and sentence. We affirm Guthrie’s revocation of probation and sentence, but remand upon the appellee State of Florida’s proper confession of error that the revocation and sentencing orders fail to conform to the trial court’s findings and oral pronouncements.
Guthrie was charged with various offenses, including the offense of second degree murder, attempted murder, and unlawful possession of a firearm, and burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault. Guthrie entered into a plea agreement and was sentenced to concurrent terms of ten years imprisonment to be followed by three years probation. Guthrie violated his probation and the court subsequently suspended the entry of sentence on the charge of unlawful possession of a firearm, and re-sentenced him to jail to be followed by four years of probation.
Guthrie again violated his probation and was charged with lewd and lascivious assault on a child, battery, and false imprisonment. An amendment affidavit subsequently dropped the false imprisonment charge and Guthrie was found guilty of lewd and lascivious assault on a child. Guthrie was sentenced to life imprisonment with credit for all the time served in prison.
We therefore remand only for the correction of the orders of revocation and sentence.
