...Richard Brush, Jr., was five feet, seven inches tall. The state of Florida does not have a specific trap gun law that would prohibit as *205 unlawful the acts complained of as against appellant. Therefore, appellant was charged by information with manslaughter pursuant to section 782.07, Florida Statutes (1979), which states: The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification according to the provisions of chapter 776 and in cases in which such killing...

Conversely, he asserts that when the facts are applied to the statute, the statute was not violated by his acts. Appellant premises his argument on the language of section

...The state's amended information charged defendant Young with manslaughter arising out of the negligent, careless, and reckless operation of a tractor trailer which resulted in the death of Lillie Speed Neal in January 1977. The charge was filed under Section 782.07, Florida Statutes (1975), the general manslaughter statute which classifies the offense as a second-degree felony. Upon defendant's motion, the trial court dismissed the amended information with leave to the state to file another information alleging a violation of Section 782.071, Florida Statutes (1975), the vehicular homicide statute. Section 782.071 defines vehicular homicide as: [T]he killing of a human being by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another. Vehicular homicide is a felony of the third degree. On this appeal the state contends the trial court erred in dismissing the amended information because defendant was effectively charged with manslaughter under Section 782.07, which states: The killing of a human being by the act, procurement, or culpable negligence of another, without lawful justification according to the provisions of chapter 776 and in cases in which such killing shall not be excusable h...

...The state's case consisted primarily of circumstantial evidence and the jury's perception of the appellant's character was critical. Although the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to send to the jury on the leaving the scene of an accident charge, it was insufficient to sustain the manslaughter conviction. Section
782.07, Florida Statutes (1987), requires proof of gross and flagrant negligence evincing reckless disregard for human life or the safety of persons exposed to its dangerous effect. Walter v. State,
157 Fla. 684,

782.071(1), Florida Statutes (1993), provides: "Vehicular homicide" is the killing of a human being by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another. The McCreary majority rejected the three dissenters' view that the purpose of section
782.071(1), Florida Statutes (1993), "was to decrease the possible penalty for manslaughter caused by the operation of a motor vehicle."

On appeal, appellant contends that the trial court erred in (1) denying appellant's motion for judgment of acquittal, and (2) sentencing appellant to a second-degree felony under Section 782.071(2), Florida Statutes....
...We find that the trial court properly denied appellant's motion for acquittal based on the State's production of sufficient competent evidence to support each element of vehicular homicide. However, the court erred in sentencing appellant to a second-degree felony under Section 782.071(2), Florida Statutes, where appellant was not charged with, or found guilty of, violation of Section 782.071(2).

...The jury returned a verdict of guilty of vehicular homicide and guilty of unlawfully leaving the scene of an accident. [1] Appellant, released on his own recognizance, returned for sentencing. Prior to the sentencing hearing, the State filed a notice of intent to seek sentencing under Section
782.071(2). Appellee's objection to application of that provision was overruled. The court enhanced the offense from a third-degree to a second-degree felony and sentenced appellant to five years' imprisonment. Appellee argues that enhancement under Section
782.071(2) is comparable to that of Section

...[emphasis in original] The trial court in the instant case sentenced appellant on vehicular homicide as a second-degree felony; however, the vehicular homicide count, when viewed independently, does not contain all of the elements necessary to sentence appellant to a felony of the second degree pursuant to Section 782.071(2)....

...There is no authority in statute, case law, or
11
even legislative history that aggravated manslaughter of a child is an enhancement or
reclassification of the crime of manslaughter.
A plain reading of section 782.07, Florida Statutes (2010), demonstrates
that each variety of manslaughter enumerated in that section stands as a distinct
criminal offense. Indeed, section 782.07(3), "Aggravated Manslaughter of a Child,"
does not mention reclassification or enhancement whatsoever but instead unequivocally
presents the crime as its own chargeable offense. Compare § 782.07, Fla....

12
the defendant was charged by information with the offense of aggravated manslaughter
of a child under section
782.07(3)).
The history of the statute's amendment also dispels any notion that the
Legislature intended to create anything other than a separate criminal offense for
aggravated manslaughter of a child. Prior to 1996, section
782.07 made no reference
to aggravated manslaughter. During the 1996 Regular Session, the Florida Legislature
passed chapter 96-332, § 12, Laws of Florida, adding two new subsections to Florida
Statute section
782.07: subsection (2), creating a crime of aggravated manslaughter of
an elderly person, and subsection (3), creating a crime of aggravated manslaughter of a
child. See Ch. 96-332, § 12, at 1774-75, Laws of Fla. The introduction to chapter 96-
322, Laws of Florida, explains that the amendment to section
782.07 was for the
purpose of "defining and providing penalties for the offenses of 'aggravated
manslaughter of an elderly person or disabled adult' and 'aggravated manslaughter of a
child.' " Id. at 1762 (emphasis added).
Thus, the trial court, the State, and the defendant have labored under a
misunderstanding of this criminal offense. Section
782.07, Florida Statutes (2010),
does not present aggravated manslaughter of a child as a reclassification, nor can it
reasonably be deemed an enhancement of a manslaughter sentence....
