TROTMAN v. STATE

No. 87-2991.

545 So.2d 890 (1989)

Earnest TROTMAN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

On Rehearing March 22, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Alfonso M. Saldana, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


HERSEY, Chief Judge.

We reverse one of appellant's two convictions of first-degree burglary and we reverse the sentence and remand for resentencing.

Trotman was charged with and found guilty of two counts of first-degree burglary. One count involved an assault and the other a battery. Regardless, there was but one entry and thus the dual convictions cannot stand. Hawkins v. State, 436 So.2d 44 (Fla. 1983).
