  •           FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
    STATE OF FLORIDA
    _____________________________
    No. 1D18-1910
    _____________________________
    LAWRENCE GEORGE ROBINSON,
    Appellant,
    v.
    STATE OF FLORIDA,
    Appellee.
    _____________________________
    On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.
    John L. Miller, Judge.
    July 29, 2019
    PER CURIAM.
    Lawrence George Robinson raises two issues on appeal:
    (a) whether the trial court’s determination that he violated
    probation was based solely on hearsay, and (b) whether his
    sentence should be corrected to reflect an award of 104 days jail
    credit. We affirm as to the first issue, but reverse and remand as
    to the second. As the State concedes, the amended judgment and
    sentence did not reflect the corrected jail credit of 104 days’ time
    served and should be corrected on remand. See McCool v. State,
    
    211 So. 3d 304
    (Fla. 1st DCA 2017) (explaining that a “defendant
    is entitled to an award of credit for all time spent in jail prior to
    sentencing in a violation of probation case, which includes all time
    spent in jail prior to original sentencing plus all time spent in jail
    prior to any subsequent violation sentencings.”) (quoting Jenkins
    v. State, 
    749 So. 2d 527
    , 528 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999)).
    REVERSED and REMANDED for resentencing.
    MAKAR, WINOKUR, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
    _____________________________
    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
