JACKSON v. STATE (2017)

Mickael JACKSON a/k/a Michael Jackson, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D14–4918

Decided: June 21, 2017

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Peggy Natale, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Matthew Steven Ocksrider, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA

In our original decision, this court affirmed appellant's consecutive sentences imposed under section 775.087(2)(d), commonly known as the 10–20–Life statute, for armed carjacking and robbery with a firearm, which occurred on the same date and involved the same victim. On review of a certified question concerning whether section 775.087(2)(d) requires consecutive sentences when the sentences arise from one criminal episode, the supreme court quashed our decision and remanded for reconsideration in light of Walton v. State, 208 So. 3d 60 (Fla. 2016), and Williams v. State, 186 So. 3d 989 (Fla. 2016), which were decided after the issuance of our opinion. Consistent with those decisions, we reverse appellant's consecutive sentences and remand for resentencing consistent with the supreme court's decision.

Reversed and remanded for resentencing.

Per Curiam.

Ciklin, C.J., Taylor and Levine, JJ., concur.
