Supreme Court of Florida
CRULLER v. STATE OF FLORIDA, SC99-49
Where clear legislative intent is to punish the act of taking a car separately from the taking of any other property during a robbery, the Double Jeopardy Clause of the State and federal Constitutions does not bar convictions and punishments for both robbery and carjacking.
