Goodman v. State
Opinion
Edmond Goodman, Jr., a minor, appeals from his convictions for two counts of burglary of a conveyance, grand theft auto and robbery with a firearm .and his subsequent sentence as an adult. Goodman argues that the trial court erred by not following the proper-procedure when imposing adult sanctions on him, in accordance with the requirements of State v. Rhoden, 448 So.2d 1013 (Fla.1984). Rhoden explains that section 39.-059(7) sets forth six criteria to be considered by a trial court and requires the court to make written findings regarding those factors prior to sentencing a juvenile as an adult. The state concedes the error. Thus, we affirm the convictions but reverse the sentence and remand for resentencing.
