Williams v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 19, 2010 · Griffin, Sawaya, Lawson
30 So. 3d 671; 2010 Fla. App. LEXIS 3623; 2010 WL 979408 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Williams v. State

Opinion

GRIFFIN, J.

Appellant, Rashad Corey Williams [“Williams”], complains on appeal that he was not given notice or an opportunity to be heard on the investigative costs and attorneys fees included in his criminal sentence. It appears the trial court scheduled a hearing for this purpose but, for some reason, one was not held. The State concedes that Williams is entitled to a hearing. Accordingly, we strike the investigative costs and attorney’s fees in the sentence and remand for the trial court to conduct an appropriate hearing before such costs and fees are assessed.

COSTS and FEES STRICKEN; REMANDED.

SAWAYA and LAWSON, JJ., concur.
