Twitty v. State

Citations: 847 So. 2d 554; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 8225; 2003 WL 21250806Docket: No. 1D01-4369

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; June 2, 2003; Florida; State Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

The court reviewed the direct criminal appeal under Anders v. California and found no reversible error. The appeal's outcome affirmed the revocation of probation and the imposition of judgment and sentence. However, the trial court did not issue amended orders of revocation to reflect the appellant’s not guilty plea to the probation violation and the adjusted sentences for the misdemeanor counts. Consequently, the case is remanded for the trial court to enter the necessary amended orders, citing Cozart v. State as precedent. Judges Davis, Lewis, and Hawkes concurred with the decision.
