Alijah Gadson, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2025)

Alijah Gadson appeals his judgment and sentence following a jury trial. Gadson was found guilty of attempted manslaughter (with a special finding that he carried a firearm) and shooting or throwing deadly missiles. He was sentenced to fifteen years on both counts to run consecutively. The State requested, and the trial court awarded, $5,132.43 costs of prosecution; the written cost order included an award for $100 of prosecution costs as well as the requested $5,132.43.

We affirm Gadson's judgment and sentence, but remand for a corrected judgment striking the duplicative $100 of prosecution costs, as the statute does not allow for the imposition of both the standard $100 prosecution costs and the requested higher amount. See § 938.27(8), Fla. Stat. (2024) (“Costs for the state attorney must be set in all cases at no less than ․ $100 per case when a felony offense is charged ․ The court may set a higher amount upon a showing of sufficient proof of higher costs incurred.”).

Affirmed and Remanded with instructions.

Per Curiam.
