  1. “Contrary to Roberts’s argument, however, there are circumstances in which more than one sentencing enhancement can be applied without violating double jeopardy. As explained in Fussell v. State, 813 So.2d 130, 131 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002): With respect to double enhancements, the double jeopardy clause does no more than prevent the sentencing court from prescribing greater punishment than the legislature intended. Spann v. State, 772 So.2d 38, 39 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000) (quoting State v. Smith, 547 So.2d 613, 614 (Fla.1989)). In addressing a similar issue, the supreme court has concluded that where two enhancement provisions serve different purposes and the legislature has not indicated that the provisions are to be mutually exclusive, both enhancements may be imposed. See State v. Whitehead, 472 So.2d 730 (Fla.1985).”
