W.J.W. v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided March 8, 1984No. 82-1105PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Per curiam

We affirm on the authority of Ray v. State, 403 So.2d 956 (Fla.1981), and Torrence v. State, 440 So.2d 392 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983). Discharge of a firearm in public, section 790.15, Florida Statutes (1981), is not a necessarily lesser included offense of aggravated battery, section 784.-045(l)(b), Florida Statutes (1981).1 However, defense counsel withdrew her objection and affirmatively represented to the court that in this case discharge of a firearm in public was a permissibly lesser included offense of aggravated battery. She argued her client should only be found guilty of the lesser offense:
