Westerman v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided October 9, 2015No. 5D14-3785Published

1Opinion of the Court

PÉR CURIAM.

George A. Westerman, III (the defendant), appeals his judgment and sentences, asserting that his convictions for possession of methamphetamine1 and trafficking in methamphetamine by possessing more than twenty-eight grams thereof 2 violated his double jeopardy rights. The State properly concedes error. See Gibbs v. State, 698 So.2d 1206 (Fla.1997) (holding that double jeopardy is violated if trafficking conviction is based upon possession of the same drugs which formed the basis of the simple possession conviction). See also Graves v. State, 95 So.3d 1033 (Fla. 5th DCA 2012).
