Davis v. State

In two separate cases involving two separate robberies committed by the same defendant, the Fifth District Court of Appeal directed the trial court to reduce Defendant’s convictions from robbery with a deadly weapon to robbery with a weapon. The Fifth District noted that no evidence was presented that Defendant used any weapon other than a firearm. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant’s convictions for the uncharged offense of robbery with a deadly weapon could not stand, but the evidence was sufficient to sustain convictions for robbery with a weapon. Accordingly, the Fifth District correctly ordered the trial court to reduce Defendant’s convictions to robbery with a weapon. View "Davis v. State" on Justia Law
