CourtFlorida District Court of Appeals

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Miette K. Burnstein, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Gary Caldwell, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Jr., Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Lee Rosenthal, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the appellant's conviction but reverse for resentencing. Whitehead v. State, 498 So.2d 863 (Fla.1986). The defendant's juvenile record may be a valid reason for departure. Myrick v. State, 497 So.2d 728 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986); Riddle v. State, 488 So.2d 903 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986). However, the state has not shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the sentence would have been the same without the impermissible reasons. Griffis v. State, 509 So.2d 1104 (Fla.1987); Albritton v. State, 476 So.2d 158 (Fla.1985).

DOWNEY, ANSTEAD and STONE, JJ., concur.
