Description
Dewarn Antonio Brown seeks review of the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal in State v. Brown, 924 So. 2d 86 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006), on the ground that it expressly and directly conflicts with the decisions of this Court in Mahaun v. State, 377 So. 2d 1158 (Fla. 1979), and Redondo v. State, 403 So. 2d 954 (Fla. 1981). The decisions are in conflict regarding whether a defendants convictions for the legally interlocking charges of (1) felony murder and (2) the lesser included misdemeanor of the separately charged underlying felony are true inconsistent verdicts. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. For the reasons explained below, we hold that a defendants convictions for felony murder and for the lesser included misdemeanor of the separately charged underlying felony are true inconsistent verdicts. Accordingly, we quash the Third Districts contrary determination.
