STATE of Florida, Petitioner, v. Lloyd Randolph PARKER, et al., Respondents.
    No. 73140.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Nov. 16, 1989.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Charles Corees, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for petitioner.
    James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Deborah K. Brueckheimer and Stephen Krosschell, Asst. Public Defenders, Bartow, for respondents.
   PER CURIAM.

We review Parker v. State, 530 So.2d 344 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989), to answer a previously certified question of great public importance. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. We answered the question in the affirmative in State v. Smith, 547 So.2d 613 (Fla.1989), wherein we held that our ruling in Carawan v. State, 515 So.2d 161 (Fla.1987), is applicable to crimes occurring before the effective date of chapter 88-131, section 7, Laws of Florida, but not to crimes occurring after that date. Accordingly, we approve the decision below for crimes occurring before July 1, 1988.

It is so ordered.
