Karl Brian Mason, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2025)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Karl Brian Mason, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D2023-2117

Decided: July 11, 2025

Charlie Cofer, Public Defender, and Elizabeth Hogan Webb, Assistant Public Defender, Jacksonville, for Appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Daren L. Shippy, Assistant Attorney General, Jacksonville, for Appellee.

Karl Mason appeals his judgment and sentence, alleging error in the trial court's denial of his motions for judgment of acquittal and mistrial. We affirm on all issues raised except one. Mason points out that after filing a motion to correct sentencing error contesting the imposition of $50.00 investigative costs, the trial court granted the motion but mistakenly struck the $50.00 prosecution fee instead. Based on this scrivener's error, we remand to have the $50.00 prosecution fee reinstated and the $50.00 investigative cost struck.

Affirmed in part, Reversed in part and Remanded with instructions.

Per Curiam.

Makar, Harris, and Boatwright, JJ., concur.
