State v. Peak

State v. Peak
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 29, 1981 · Ferguson, Harold, Hendry, Ret, Vann
406 So. 2d 477; 1981 Fla. App. LEXIS 21207 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Peak

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

On the record before us, we cannot conclude, as contended by appellant, that the court abused its discretion in determining that the recanting of testimony of a material witness who had testified while under the influence of four valium pills, allegedly with the knowledge of the prosecutor, created serious doubt as to the integrity of the trial and warranted the granting of an evi-dentiary hearing and new trial on the defendant’s motion for post-conviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. See, e. g., State v. Matera, 266 So.2d 661 (Fla. 1972).

Affirmed.
