    Anderson Lee Nieves NIEVES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 1D17-2450
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    November 30, 2018
    Andy Thomas, Public Defender, Danielle Jorden, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Daniel Krumbholz, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   B.L. Thomas, C.J.,

Appellant challenges the final judgment of his convictions and sentences, arguing that: 1) the jury rendered inconsistent verdicts; 2) improper comments by the prosecutor denied Appellant a fair trial; and 3) the trial court illegally imposed consecutive minimum mandatory sentences. We reject Appellant's arguments on the first two issues.

As to Appellant's claim that the trial court could not impose consecutive minimum mandatory sentences, we reverse and remand with instructions for the trial court to enter an amended order providing that Appellant's sentences are to be served concurrently, consistent with the supreme court's recent decision in Miller v. State , --- So.3d ----, ----, 43 Fla. L. Weekly S426, 2018 WL 4784069 at *1 (Fla. Oct. 4, 2018) ("our caselaw reflects that the crimes stemming from a single criminal episode involving a single victim or a single injury may not be sentenced consecutively").

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED with instructions.

Winsor, J., concurs; Makar, J., concurs with opinion.

I concur fully, noting that the issue of whether the many improper prosecutorial comments cumulatively denied Nieves a fair trial would be a close one had contemporaneous objections been made; affirmance is required, however, under the fundamental error rule. Spencer v. State , 842 So.2d 52, 74 (Fla. 2003).
