Synopsis

The court affirmed Schummer's conviction for dealing in stolen property but vacated the conviction for petit theft because section 812.025 prohibits conviction on both charges, and remanded for resentencing based on a corrected scoresheet that improperly included after-committed offenses.


Holding

A defendant cannot be convicted of both dealing in stolen property and petit theft under section 812.025, Florida Statutes, and the trial court must impose a guidelines sentence based on a corrected scoresheet that excludes after-committed offenses.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We have for review the appeal of Kennis Lee Schummer (Schummer), and the cross-appeal of the State. The jury found Schummer guilty of both dealing in stolen property and petit theft, despite that section 812.025, Florida Statutes (1991), permits a guilty verdict on one or the other, but not both. We affirm the conviction for dealing in stolen property, but vacate the conviction for petit theft, and remand for correction of sentence to reflect that the petit theft conviction is vacated. Day v. State, 531 So. 2d 426 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988); Alexander v. State, 470 So. 2d 856 (Fla. 1st DCA), review denied, 480 So. 2d 1293 (Fla.1985).

The trial judge imposed a downward-departure sentence, without giving written reasons for the departure, based on a scoresheet which included points for offenses committed after the instant offenses. We remand for correction of the scoresheet; after-committed offenses may not be scored on the scoresheet for the instant crimes. Stephens v. State, 559 So. 2d 687 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990), approved, 572 So. 2d 1387 (Fla.1991). A guidelines sentence shall be imposed based upon the corrected scoresheet, as written reasons were not provided for Sehummer’s downward departure sentence. Pope v. State, 561 So. 2d 554 (Fla.1990).

We affirm in all other respects.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

BOOTH, LAWRENCE and VAN NORTWICK, JJ., concur.
