Domnique Lashay Wilkerson, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee. (2025)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Domnique Lashay Wilkerson, Appellant, v. State of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D2024-0939

Decided: July 25, 2025

Matthew J. Metz, Public Defender, and John M. Selden, Assistant Public Defender Chief, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Adam B. Wilson, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Affirmed. See Capra v. State, 403 So. 3d 1063, 1064 (Fla. 5th DCA 2025) (holding even if HVFO sentence was rendered in error, error is harmless); Jackson v. State, 410 So. 3d 4, 11 (Fla. 4th DCA 2025) (explaining harmless error inquiry is “whether the record demonstrates beyond a reasonable doubt that a rational jury would have found” defendant qualified as an HFO); see also Luton v. State, 934 So. 2d 7, 9 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006) (holding that because defendant made no timely objection to the trial court sitting as trier of fact on whether defendant qualified as an HVFO, the claim was not properly preserved for appellate review).

Per Curiam.

Lambert, Harris, and Kilbane, JJ., concur.
