Williams v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 2, 1978 · Ervin, Melvin, Smith
371 So. 2d 110; 1978 Fla. App. LEXIS 17299 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appeal from a denial of a motion to vacate a judgment and sentence for robbery, pursuant to Rule 3.850, Fla.R.Crim.P. Appellant contends that there was not a proper determination of the voluntariness of an inculpatory statement which was admitted at trial.

This issue could have been raised on direct appeal and, thus, cannot be raised on the motion to vacate or set aside a judgment and conviction. Von Eberstein v. State, 270 So.2d 444 (Fla. 1st DCA 1972). Accordingly, the order of the trial court is

AFFIRMED.

SMITH, Acting C. J., and ERVIN and MELVIN, JJ., concur.
