664 So. 2d 967 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1995)

Opinion

No. 94-0055.

February 1, 1995.

Appeal from the County Court for Palm Beach County; Robert S. Schwartz, Judge.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, Melvina Racey Flaherty and Myra J. Fried, Asst. Attys. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Robert E. Stone, Miami, for amicus curiae Florida Power Light Co.


The trial court dismissed this case after concluding that a statutory provision under which defendant was charged was facially unconstitutional. In a companion case, State v. Marcolini, 664 So.2d 963 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995) we determined that the same provision was facially constitutional. We therefore reverse this case for the reasons expressed in Marcolini.

HERSEY, WARNER and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
