Supreme Court of Florida

When a charging document alleges that a defendant used a firearm in committing an offense enumerated in section 775.087(2)(a), Florida Statutes (2002), and the jury specifically finds the defendant guilty of the offense "with a firearm" as charged in the information, the three-year mandatory minimum term authorized by that provision may be imposed.
