Hampton v. State
Hampton v. State
401 So. 2d 918; 1981 Fla. App. LEXIS 20655
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Hampton v. State
Opinion of the Court
We have considered the applicability of the Supreme Court’s recent holding in Estelle v. Smith, — U.S. -, 101 S.Ct. 1866, 68 L.Ed.2d 359 (1981), to the proceedings below. We conclude that the error if any, in admitting a psychiatrist’s report and a transcript of a competency hearing into evidence at the sentencing phase of defendant’s trial was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Chapman v. California, 386 U.S. 18, 87 S.Ct. 824, 17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967); Palmes v. State, 397 So.2d 648 (Fla. 1981). Accordingly, the judgment is
AFFIRMED.
