Chapman v. StateChapman v. State
Appellant’s first appeal resulted in a retrial. Chapman v. State,
In this, appеllant’s third appeal, he аsserts that the trial court erred in assessing the following costs as special conditions оf probation: $200 for court costs per section 27.3455, Florida Statutes (1989); $200 for public defendеr fees; $200 for costs of prosecution per sectiоn 939.01, Florida Statutes (1989); $50 for the crimes compensation fund pursuant to section 960.20, Florida Statutes (1989); and $5 in contributions to criminal justice funds per section 943.25, Florida Statutes (1989). The total amount оf fees and costs is $655.
We affirm in аll respects except for two matters which require remand for correction оf appellant’s written judgment аnd order of probation. First, bеcause appellant committed his crimes prior tо the effective date оf the revised section 960.20, Octоber 1, 1992, he can only be chаrged $20, rather than the $50 assessеd by the trial court in the instant cаse. Bartlett v. State,
Second, although the trial court orally assessed costs against appellant, it did not specifically annоunce that they would be special conditions of prоbation.
Notes
. In response to a quеstion by the clerk as to whethеr the trial court wished to waive costs, the trial court responded:
No, we got $200 court costs, $200 Public Defender’s fee, and $225, nothing becomes due until 30 days — or 60 — 90 days after his release.
All right, Mr. Chapman, that's the sentence of the Court.
