JACKSON v. STATE

No. 97-394.

703 So.2d 515 (1997)

Willie James JACKSON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

December 24, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Maria E. Lauredo, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Erin E. Dardis, and Richard Polin, Assistant Attorneys General, and Amir Ladan, Certified Legal Intern, for appellee.

Before NESBITT, COPE and LEVY, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

We find that there was sufficient evidence to support the "intent" element of defendant Willie James Jackson's attempted burglary conviction. The jury could have reasonably concluded that Jackson's unauthorized and unannounced entry into the victim's house coupled with his immediate flight from the house, without explanation, when seen by the victim constituted "stealthy entry." See State v. Waters, 436 So.2d 66
