Rodriguez v. State
139 So. 3d 489; 2014 WL 2480483; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 8501
(Southern Reporter, Third Series)
Rodriguez v. State
Opinion of the Court
ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT
The Supreme Court quashed the decision in this ease and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its decision in Williams v. State, 123 So.3d 23 (Fla. 2013). Appellant was convicted of attempted second degree murder and other crimes. As in Williams, the circuit court committed fundamental error by giving a faulty instruction on attempted manslaughter. Appellant’s attempted second degree murder conviction was one step removed from attempted manslaughter. Id. at 24. Based on Williams, we reverse appellant’s convictions and remand for a new trial.
