Text: We recognize that in determining whether multiple convictions for robberies or thefts or both are predicated on distinct and independent criminal acts or a single criminal act, it is difficult to formulate a bright-line rule because the determination is often fact-specific. See Hearn, 55 So.2d at 560. Nevertheless, under the facts of this case, we approve the Third District's decision and hold that Hayes properly was convicted of both robbery and grand theft of a motor vehicle. We also approve of the First District's decision in Henderson and disapprove of the Fifth District's decision in Castleberry. It is so ordered.
