INGRAHAM v. STATE (2026)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Carl INGRAHAM, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D2025-0426

Decided: June 03, 2026

Daniel Eisinger, Public Defender, and Siobhan Shea, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. James Uthmeier, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Pablo Ignacio Tapia, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Appellant raises five issues on appeal arising from his convictions for DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and DUI causing serious bodily injury following a fatal crash. With one exception, we affirm without comment.

As to sentencing, the State properly concedes error regarding certain costs because “a court's oral pronouncement of a sentence controls over the written sentencing document.” Williams v. State, 957 So. 2d 600, 603 (Fla. 2007). We therefore reverse and remand for correction of costs only. We otherwise affirm.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

Per Curiam.

Ciklin, Gerber and Lott, JJ., concur.
