Williams v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided July 10, 2015No. 5D14-306PublishedCited by 4 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtOrfinger, J.

Rodrick D’Anthony Williams, a juvenile at the time the charged crimes occurred, appeals his convictions and sentences for first-degree murder and kidnapping. Williams contends that the trial court erred when it denied his pre-trial motion to suppress his confession, admitted certain evidence at trial, and by imposing a *144life sentence for first-degree murder. We affirm Williams’s convictions without comment. However, we reverse Williams’s sentence for first-degree murder and remand for a new sentencing hearing.1
