WASKO v. STATE

No. 65547.

505 So.2d 1314 (1987)

Edward Robert WASKO, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Florida.

Rehearing Denied May 18, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Barry A. Weinstein, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Jr., Atty. Gen., and Julie S. Thornton, Asst. Atty. Gen., Miami, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Edward Wasko appeals his conviction of first-degree murder and sentence of death. We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(1), Florida Constitution, and affirm his conviction. Because we find that the trial court improperly overrode the jury's recommendation of life imprisonment, however, we vacate the death sentence and remand for imposition of a sentence of life imprisonment with no possibility of parole for twenty-five years.
