Jones v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1998-05-22

Relies on 708 So. 2d 315 - Thompson v. State

Decided 1998-05-22

PER CURIAM.

¶1Dwayne Jones challenges his sentence as a violent career criminal resulting from his. conviction for robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. In Thompson v. State, 708 So.2d 315 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998), this court held that chapter 95-182, Laws of Florida, which created the sentencing structure for violent career criminals, is an unconstitutional violation of the single subject rule. Accordingly, we reverse Jones’ violent career criminal sentence and remand for resentencing in accordance with the valid laws in effect at the time of Jones’ sentencing.

¶2Reversed and remanded.

ALTENBERND, AC.J., and QUINCE and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.
