WATTS v. STATE

No. 4D02-4034.

912 So.2d 17 (2005)

Sterling WATTS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

April 20, 2005.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and David John McPherrin, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Laurel R. Wiley, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted and sentenced as a habitual felony offender to twenty years imprisonment, with a three-year mandatory minimum, for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and to ten years imprisonment for carrying a concealed firearm. We reverse the mandatory minimum sentence because the jury did not make a specific finding that appellant actually possessed the firearm. See State v. Hargrove, 694 So.2d 729
