Supreme Court of Florida

Jones v. State

November 12, 1992608 So. 2d 797

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida held that convictions for attempted burglary and possession of burglary tools arising from the same criminal episode do not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause because each offense requires an element the other does not, and it remanded to reduce the sentence for attempted burglary to the statutory maximum of thirty months imprisonment and thirty months probation.
