EDDIE MCNAIR, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 1989-09-27
No. 87-03315
RYDER, A.C.J., and BOARDMAN, EDWARD F., (Ret.) J., concur.
549 So. 2d 1106 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1989) Caution
Cited by 9 cases

Opinion of the Court
ALTENBERND, Judge.

ALTENBERND, Judge.

McNair appeals his convictions for trafficking in and possession with intent to sell cocaine. Because the same cocaine was the basis for both convictions and because the offenses occurred prior to the 1988 amendment to section 775.021(4), Florida Statutes (1985), appellant’s conviction for trafficking is affirmed, but we reverse his conviction for possession with intent to sell cocaine. State v. Smith, 547 So. 2d 613 (Fla.1989); Carawan v. State, 515 So. 2d 161 (Fla. 1987).

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

RYDER, A.C.J., and BOARDMAN, EDWARD F., (Ret.) J., concur.

    …reversible error. The factual [*600] recitation in Miller is very sketchy. However, again, reference to the district court opinion reflects that “no view of the evidence could support a finding of justifiable or excusable homicide.” Miller v. State, 549 So. 2d 1106, 1110 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989). Nevertheless, the supreme court treated the error as “fundamental” and quashed that portion of the district court’s opinion which had affirmed the manslaughter convictions. Additional support for our conclusion is found in…
