LITTS v. STATE (2001)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Second District.

Peter LITTS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 2D00-2349.

Decided: June 01, 2001

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and James T. Miller, Special Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Richard M. Fishkin, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Peter Anthony Litts appeals his convictions for second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and aggravated assault, as well as the forty-five year sentence imposed upon his conviction for second-degree murder with a firearm. We affirm the convictions without discussion. We also affirm the forty-five year sentence because that sentence was imposed for a life felony committed on March 26, 1998. Since Litts committed the pertinent offense after July 1, 1995, the trial court was authorized to impose either life imprisonment or a term of years not exceeding life imprisonment. § 775.082(3)(a)(3), Fla. Stat. (1997).

Affirmed.

SALCINES, Judge.

THREADGILL, A.C.J., and STRINGER, J., Concur.
