Crawford v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided February 21, 2007No. 4D05-1075Published

1Per curiam

We affirm appellant’s conviction of armed burglary of a dwelling. Along with three others, appellant forced his way into an apartment and robbed its occupants at gunpoint.

State, 944…
