Melton v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 6, 1981 · Ferguson, Genson, Jor, Nesbitt
404 So. 2d 798; 1981 Fla. App. LEXIS 21334 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Melton v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We have carefully considered each of the points on appeal and find no reversible error. The statement attributed to the deceased placing defendant at scene of crime was inadmissible hearsay but harmless error where defendant’s presence at scene of the crime was established by other competent evidence. See, e. g., Roth v. State, 359 So.2d 881 (Fla.3d DCA 1978), cert. denied, 367 So.2d 1126 (Fla. 1979).

Affirmed.
