No. 97-05248.

714 So.2d 1169 (1998)

STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. James WOODS, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

July 29, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Dale E. Tarpley, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Megan Olson, Assistant Public Defender, Clearwater, for Appellee.
