547 So. 2d 293 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1989
We vacate the defendant’s conviction of unlawful possession of a firearm while engaged in a criminal offense, § 790.07, Fla. Stat. (1985), as violative of the double jeopardy provisions of the state and federal constitutions because he had already been charged with murder in the first-degree and found guilty of manslaughter with a firearm as a lesser included offense of the first-degree murder charge. Carawan v.
For the foregoing reasons, the defendant’s conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm is reversed. In all other respects, his conviction and sentence are affirmed.
