• holding that reversible error was committed because the general verdict form made it impossible to determine whether the jury found the defendant guilty of the charged acts or those acts in the jury instructions that were not charged in the information
• agreeing that fundamental error exists “even if the uncharged crime involved an alternative factual theory for proving the charged offense”
• general jury instruction on fondling was fundamental error; charge defendant rubbed only victim’s vaginal area precluded State from alternatively proving fondling buttocks
