Standley v. State
| Decision Date | 20 December 1989 |
| Docket Number | No. 87-03506,87-03506 |
| Citation | 554 So.2d 1200 |
| Parties | 15 Fla. L. Weekly D91 David Bryan STANDLEY, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee. |
| Court | Florida District Court of Appeals |
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Allyn Giambalvo, Asst. Public Defender, Clearwater, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Elaine L. Thompson, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
Appellant contends, and the state concedes, that the trial court erred in assessing points for victim injury on the guidelines scoresheet. At the time appellant's crime was committed, these points could not be included on the scoresheet because victim injury was not an element of the offense for which appellant was convicted. See Fennell v. State, 544 So.2d 1017 (Fla.1989); Baker v. State, 526 So.2d 202 (Fla. 4th DCA 1988). Accordingly, we reverse appellant's sentences and remand for correction of the scoresheet and resentencing.
The state contends that the trial court erred in not reclassifying appellant's offense of attempted sexual battery with a deadly weapon to a first-degree felony. This argument is without merit because section 775.087(1), Florida Statutes (1987), excepts from such reclassification a felony, as that in this case, in which, pursuant to sections 794.011(3) and 777.04, Florida Statutes (1987), the use of a weapon is an essential element.
Reversed and remanded for resentencing.

...while armed, it was error to use the weapon to reclassify the offense to a higher degree under section 775.087. Standley v. State, 554 So.2d 1200 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989).
