2 DEFENDANAT OCONNOR: Yes, Your Honor. As far as how
3 about I go doing an appeal?
4 THE COURT: I'm sorry?
5 DEFENDANAT OCONNOR: How do I go --
6 THE COURT: Oh, don't worry. I'll explain that in
7 just a few moments. That's all you wanted to say? Nothing
8 else?
9. DEFENDANAT OCONNOR: (Nodding in the negative.)
10 THE COURT: This is your opportunity. You are never
11 going to have an opportunity again. Becuase I assure you
12 when your case goes to the Fourth District, it's going to
13 be affirmed.
14 DEFENDANAT OCONNOR: I ask for a retrial.
15 MR. RAUDT: I got that here, Judge.
16 DEFENDANAT OCONNOR: I don't think I was given a fair
17 trial, Your Honor.
18 .THE COURT: Oh, you're incorrect. You were given a
19 fair trial.
20 DEFENDANAT OCONNOR: No, I wasn't. Let me ask you a
21 question, Your Honor. . Can I get deported back to.my
22 country or something?
23 THE COURT: You might. That's a matter between you
24 and the Department of Immigration and Naturalization if
25 you're not a citizen of this country. But they may decide
1 to hold you until after you serve your sentence in this
2 case, which means in all likelihood you would be shipped
3 back in a pine box.
4 Was there anything else you want to say on your own
5 behalf before you are sentenced?
6 · DEFENDANAT OCONNOR: No, that's about it.
7 THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Oconnor, you were found guilty
8 of a jury of your peers in case number 00-5323CF10B of
9 murder in the first degree and one count of armed robbery.
10 Based upon the facts and circumstances, the Court, of
11 course, at this juncture has no alternative but on count
12 one to sentence you to life Florida State Prison. I
13 adjudicated you on Friday. That adjudication stands.
14 With regard to the armed robbery under the criminal
15 punishment code, while the defendant scores a minute of
16 50.7 months, the maximum which is provided by law which is
17 applicable is still life Florida State Prison as a first
18 degree felony punishable by life.
19 Accordingly, with regard to count two having
20 previously adjudicated the defendant, the Court is going to
21 sentence the defendant to life Florida State Prison in
22 count two with credit for time served on both counts?
23 THE CLERK: Three hundred fifty-eight.
24 THE COURT: Three hundred and fifty-eight days time
25 served.

Dear Mr. O'Connor:
This serves to acknowledge receipt of your letter to the Embassy of Jamaica dated 25 April2004. Ihave notedyour concems and the issues you have raised.
I wish to advise you that there is not much we can do to change the course of events. The Judge's commentwas made at the sentencing phase and not during the trial. If this comment was made during the trial then youcould ask him to disqualify himself from the case, but there are strict guidelines stipulating the punishment forcertain crimes. Therefore, it was within his right to remain on the bench.
Unfortunately, if you were tried a second time by the same judge, then he should have excused himself fromthe case. This is a reasonable ground for an appeal. I am suggesting that you seek legal representation toappeal your case.
Best wishes in your quest for justice.
rely Yours,

Page 4129 S.Ct. 2360, Yeager v. U.S., (U.S. 2009)
preclusion component of the Double Jeopardy Clause therefore barred a secondtrial for insider trading and money laundering. The District Court denied themotion, and the Fifth Circuit affirmed, reasoning that the fact that the juryhung on the insider-trading and money-laundering counts--as opposed to acquittingpetitioner--cast doubt on whether it had necessarily decided that petitioner didnot possess material, nonpublic information. This inconsistency between theacquittals and the hung counts, the Fifth Circuit concluded, meant that theGovernment could prosecute petitioner anew for insider trading and moneylaundering.
Held: An apparent inconsistency between a jury's verdict of acquittal on somecounts and its failure to return a verdict on other counts does not affect theacquittals' preclusive force under the Double Jeopardy Clause. Pp. 2365 - 2370.
(a) This case is controlled by the reasoning in Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436,90 S.Ct. 1189, 25 L.Ed.2d 469, where the Court squarely held that the DoubleJeopardy Clause precludes the Government from relitigating any issue that wasnecessarily decided by a jury's acquittal in a prior trial. For double jeopardypurposes, the jury's inability to reach a verdict on Yeager's insider-trading andnoney-laundering counts was a nonevent that should be given no weight in theissue-preclusion analysis. To identify what a jury necessarily determined attrial, courts should scrutinize the jury's decisions, not its failures to decide.A jury's verdict of acquittal represents the community's collective judgmentregarding all the evidence and arguments presented to it. Even if the verdict is'based upon an egregiously erroneous foundation," Fong Foo v. United States, 369J.S. 141, 143, 82 S.Ct. 671, 7 L.Ed.2d 629, its finality is unassailable, see,e.g., Arizona v. Washington, 434 U.S. 497, 503, 98 S.Ct. 824, 54 L.Ed.2d 717.Phus, if the possession of insider information was [a critical issue of ultimateEact in all of the charges against Yeager, a jury verdict that necessarilydecided that issue in his favor protects him from prosecution *2362 for any:harge for which that is an essential element. Pp. 2365 - 2369.
(b) Neither Richardson v. United States, 468 U.S. 317, 104 S.Ct. 3081, 82.Ed.2d 242, nor United States v. Powell, 469 U.S. 57, 105 S.Ct. 471, 83 L.Ed.2d
161, supports the Government's argument that it can retry Yeager for insider:rading or money laundering. Richardson 's conclusion that a jury's "failure ...:o reach a verdict is not an event which terminates jeopardy," 468 U.S. at 325,.04 S.Ct. 3081, did not open the door to using a hung count to ignore the>reclusive effect of a jury's acquittal, but was simply a rejection of thetrgument--similar to the Government's today--that a mistrial is an event ofsignificance. Also rejected is the contention that an acquittal can never>reclude retrial on a hung count because it would impute irrationality to theury in violation of Powell 's rule that issue preclusion is "predicated on theissumption that the jury acted rationally," 469 U.S. at 68, 105 S.Ct. 471. The:ourt's refusal in Powell and in Dunn v. United States, 284 U.S. 390, 52 S.Ct.89, 76 L.Ed. 356, to impugn the legitimacy of jury verdicts that, on their face,'ere logically inconsistent shows, a fortiori, that a potentially inconsistent.ung count could not command a different result. Pp. 2368 - 2370.

Figueroanot challenge his status as an HVFO or the underlying convic-necessary for the HVFO enhancement.
[owever, in the motion before us, Figueroa argues that theInation did not allege that he possessed a firearm during themission of the robbery-an esse,ntial element of the crime forh he was convicted-and that, as such, his sentence is illegal.eroa specifically alleges that both the imposition of the life:nce and the fifteen-yearminimum-mandatory term are illegal.1igueroa correctly contends that when there is a discrepancyeen theheading and the body ofan information as to the offenseed, "the offense described in thebody is the onewithwhich the

However,"aconviction on a charge riot made bythe indictment or information is a denial of due process[,]"and anindictment or information that "whollyomitstoallegeoneormoreofthe essential elements of the crime" cannot support a conviction forthat crime. State v. Gray, 435 So.2d 816, 818 (Fla. 1983). This "is adefect that can be raised at any time-before trial, after trial, onappeal, orby habeas corpus."Id. The Florida Supreme Court and ourcourt have consistently applied these principles. See, e.g., Jaimes v.State,51So.3d445,448(Fla.2010)("Itisafundamentalprincipleofdueprocess that a defendant maynot be convictedofa crime that hasnot been charged by the state."); Price v. State,995 So. 2d 401, 404(Fla.2008)(reiterating that the failure to allege an essential element ofa crime may be raised in a habeas petition); Harris v. State, 76 So. 3d1080, 1081 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011) (stating that it is a denial of dueprocess to convict a defendant ofan uncharged crime);Pena v.

State,43 So.3d 132,133 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (affirming conviction for armed robberywhere information specifically cited subsection of robbery statute);McMillan v. State, 832 So.2d 946,947 (Fla.5th DCA2002)(same).The reference to section 775.087 in the body of the information, asection underwhichFigueroa'sjudgmentand sentencewerenot andcouldnotbereclassified,döesnotcurewhatisotherwiseafundamen-tal defectinthecharging instrument. See Gri§in v. McNeil,995 So.2d1178,1179(Fla. 4th DCA2008)(grantingpetitionforwritofhabeascorpus, concluding thatan offenseis limited to the terms charged andthat where use of a firearm or deadly weapon is not charged as anelement ofrobbery, the defendant may only be sentenced for simplerobbery). Thus, the State's reliance on Mesa is inapposite becauseunlikeFigueroa's crlme, the charge inMesainvolved a conviction forattempted second-degree murder, a crime for which use ofa firearmis not an essential element.
We recognize thatFigueroaisbenefittingfrom a"rathertechnicalpleadingerror." Cochran, 899 So.2d at492. However,Figueroawaschargedwithonly simplerobbery and couldhavebeen convicted onlyof simple robbery, a second-degree felony. See id.

Stephens, 974 So. 2d åt 457. Here, Figueroa is serving a lifesentence for a crime he was not charged with committing and aconviction wrongfully entered. We conclude that the circumstancesofthis casepresent the"uncommonand extraordinarycircumstanços"constituting manifest injustice. See Stephens, 974 Šo.2d at 457-$8;Miller v.

Based on the foregoing, w,ejr_eatFigueroa's appeal as apetition forwritofhabeas corpus, grant thepetition,and direct thepostconvictioncourt to enter an amendedjudgmentreflecting asecond-degree felonyconviction and toresentenceFigueroa to aterm ofnot morethan thirtyyears in prison, with a ten-year minimum-mandatory term, as ahabitual violent felony offender.ßdditionally, that portion of thepostconviction court's order finding Figueroa's claims successive,frivolous, and not made in good faith and directing that a certifiedcopy of the order be forwarded to the Department of Corrections forconsideration ofdisciplinary procedures is vacated.},V

The order of revocation of probation fails tospecify which conditionAppellant violated.

(WETHEREII, J.) Appellant raises three issues in this direct appealofhis conviction and sentence: 1)that section 893.13,Florida Statutes,is facially unconstitutional;2) that the trial court erred in denying hismotion for judgment of acquittal; and 3) that the trial court erred inimposing a discretionary fme and surcharge that had not been orallypronounced. We affirm the first issue based on Flagg v. State,74 So.3d 138 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011), affirm the second issue without furthercomment, and reverse the third issue for the reasons that follow.
Thejury found Appellantguiltyofsaleofcocaineand resisting anofficer without violence. The trial court adjudicated Appellant guiltyand sentenced him to 15 years on thecocaine offense and time servedon the resisting offense. At sentencing, the court orally pronounced"costs and fines" of$1,522.50, along with $100 for cost ofprosecu-tion, $100 for."defenselitigation fee,"1and$50 forthe public defender .application fee.
Appellant did not object to the imposition of these costs and fmesat sentencing. He did, however, file a motion pursuant to Florida Rule
