Butler v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Butler v. State, 348 So. 2d 627 (1977)
1977 Fla. App. LEXIS 16352
Hendry, Nathan, Pearson
Butler v. State
Opinion of the Court
The defendant was granted a delayed appeal pursuant to Baggett v. Wainwright, 229 So.2d 239 (Fla. 1969). On the appeal, the single point presented urges reversal upon the ground that the original object from which his latent fingerprint was lifted was not produced in court. While no case supporting this proposition has been cited, it should be noted that the evidence showed that the object was not available to the State at the time of trial. No error has been shown. Cf. United States v. Sewar, 468 F.2d 236 (9th Cir. 1972); United States v. Herndon, 536 F.2d 1027 (5th Cir. 1976);
Affirmed.
