Florida District Courts of Appeal, 1981

McClish v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 9, 1981 · Church, Cobb, Frank, Orfinger

404 So. 2d 144; 1981 Fla. App. LEXIS 21067 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s contention that section 951.22(1), Florida Statutes (1979)1 under which he was charged because a handcuff key was found on his person while he was a prisoner, is unconstitutionally vague, is without merit. The statute meets the void-for-vagueness test set forth in Sanicola v. State, 384 So.2d 152 (Fla. 1980); Russ v. State, 400 So.2d 1314 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981).

The appellant has not shown an abuse of the trial court’s discretion in denying his attorney the right to question pro*145spective jurors on voir dire about their personal television habits. Zamora v. State, 361 So.2d 776 (Fla.3d DCA 1978), cert. denied, 372 So.2d 472 (Fla. 1979).

AFFIRMED.

ORFINGER, COBB and FRANK D. UP-CHURCH, Jr., JJ., concur.
