Felton Sears,
Appellant,
vs.
State of Florida,
Appellee.
An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from
the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Jason Bloch, Judge.
Felton Sears, in proper person.
James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Lourdes B. Fernandez,
Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before LOGUE, LINDSEY, and GORDO, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See State v. Iseley, 944 So. 2d 227, 231 (Fla. 2006) (“The
requisite ‘clear jury finding’ was made in this case. This jury’s finding that
Iseley was guilty of aggravated assault with a firearm as charged in the
information is consistent with both the language of the information and the
evidence adduced at trial. The information expressly charged that a firearm
was used during the commission of the aggravated assault. Our review of
the record establishes that the only deadly weapon involved in this case was
the firearm referenced in the information and that there was no dispute that
the weapon met the definition of a firearm. Consequently, we conclude that
because the verdict form contained an express reference to the use of a
firearm in the commission of the crime, the evidence supports that finding
required by section 775.087, and the verdict of guilt of aggravated assault
with a firearm constituted the clear jury finding necessary under our
precedent.”).
