State v. Ford

Defendant, Derrick A. Ford, Jr., appeals his convictions, habitual offender adjudication, and enhanced sentences. For the reasons that follow, we affirm defendant's conviction, habitual offender adjudication as a fourth-felony offender, and enhanced sentence on count two, attempted simple robbery. Based on our error patent review, we vacate defendant's conviction, habitual offender adjudication as a fourth-felony offender, and enhanced sentence on count one, simple kidnapping. We further remand this case for the trial court to enter a post-verdict judgment of acquittal on count one.
