Cisneros-Gonzalez v. State
Cisneros-Gonzalez v. State
Opinion of the Court
ON CONFESSION OF ERROR
.A jury convicted Jose Cisneros-Gonzalez of Mdnapping, sexual battery, and attempted second-degree murder. He raises two issues on appeal: (1) whether the trial court failed to conduct an adequate Nelson
Finding no error on the first issue, we affirm Cisneros-Gonzalez’s convictions of sexual battery and kidnapping. However, based on the State’s proper confession of error pursuant to Griffin v. State, 160 So.3d 63 (Fla. 2015), we reverse and remand for a new trial on the attempted second-degree- murder conviction. Like the defendant in Griffin, the defendant here was convicted of a crime one step removed from the erroneous manslaughter instruction, and he did not concede the issue of intent.
Affirmed in part; reversed in part; and remanded for a new trial on the attempted second-degree murder charge.
