Dorvil v. State

997 So.2d 1138 (2008) Davis DORVIL, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee. No. 3D07-1274. District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District. November 19, 2008. Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Gwendolyn Powell Braswell, for appellant. Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Timothy R.M. Thomas, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before COPE and RAMIREZ, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge. PER CURIAM. On this appeal from a conviction and maximum sentence for second degree murder of the defendant's wife, we first find no error in the trial court's failure to suppress the murder weapon which was found after *1139 Dorvil revealed its location to the police. See Oregon v. Bradshaw, 462 U.S. 1039, 103 S.Ct. 2830, 77 L.Ed.2d 405 (1983); Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 101 S.Ct. 1880, 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981); Stein v. State, 632 So.2d 1361 (Fla. 1994). The sentence, however, is vacated, and the cause is remanded for resentencing by another judge, see Johnson v. State, 948 So.2d 1014 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007), because, as in Johnson, the lower court obviously and erroneously took the defendant's refusal to admit responsibility into consideration in determining the sentence. See Johnson, 948 So.2d at 1016-17; Soto v. State, 874 So.2d 1215 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004); A.S. v. State, 667 So.2d 994 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996). Affirmed in part, vacated in part and remanded.
