WILLIAMS v. STATE

No. 98-3879.

745 So.2d 465 (1999)

James Lee WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

November 17, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, Dana M. Drukker and Edgar Lee Elzie, Jr., Assistant Public Defenders, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Sherri Tolar Rollison, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges his conviction of resisting a retail merchant in violation of section 812.015(6). We reverse and remand for a new trial.

We reject appellant's argument that the jury's verdicts of not guilty on the charge of theft and guilty on the charge of resisting a retail merchant were "true" inconsistent verdicts, entitling him to acquittal on the latter charge. Cf. State v. Connelly, 24 Fla. L. Weekly S387, ___ So.2d ___, 1999...
