DAVIS v. STATE
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Jan 12, 2001
COBB, J.
The appellant, Tyrone Davis, was tried and convicted of robbery with a firearm and one count of grand theft, third degree. The grand theft was a lesser included offense of the robbery because there was a single taking. Taylor v. State, 751 So.2d 659 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999), rev. denied, 770 So.2d 161 (Fla. 2000). This double jeopardy violation constitutes fundamental error. See Thomas v. State, 745 So.2d 1119 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999); Sneed v. State, 749 So.2d 545 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000).
Accordingly, we reverse the judgment and sentence in regard to grand theft and remand for resentencing.
PETERSON and PLEUS, JJ., Concur.
