Citations

  • 80 Fla. 672
  • 86 So. 623

Syllabus

<p>1. “When the record in a criminal case shows fully the crime for which the prisoner was indicted and all the proceedings thereon, through trial and verdict up to conviction and sentence, the failure in the sentence to name the crime for which the prisoner is sentenced may be supplied by reference to the rest of the record.”</p> <p>2. The entire record may be looked to in ascertaining the offense for which an accused is sentenced, and an erroneous recital or statement of the offense by the court in pronouncing sentence, or of the clerk in recording the judgment imposed in the minutes of the proceedings kept by him, will not vitiate the judgment when the record fully discloses the offense for which the accused was indicted, tried and convicted.</p>

Judges: Browne, Ellis, Taylor, West, Whitfield
