Jones v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 12, 2016 · Kelsey, Ray, Wetherell
190 So. 3d 660; 2016 Fla. App. LEXIS 5538; 2016 WL 1437623 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm Appellant’s conviction without comment, but we reverse his sentence and remand for resentencing because, although the trial court correctly determined based on then-controlling appellate decisions that it was required to impose conséctitive mandatory minimum terms under the 10-20-Life statute, the Florida Supreme Court subsequently quashed one of those decisions .and held that consecutive sentencing is permissible but not mandatory. See Williams v. State, 186 So.3d 989 (Fla. 2016) (“If ... multiple firearm offenses are committed contemporaneously, during ■ which time. multiple victims are shot at, then consecutive sentencing is permissible but not mandatory. In other words, a trial judge has discretion to order the mandatory minimum sentences to run consecutively, but may impose the sentences concurrently.”) (citations omitted).

AFFIRMED in,part; REVERSED, and REMANDED in part.

WETHERELL, RAY, and KELSEY, JJ., concur.
