Fell v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 17, 1982 · Anstead, Hersey, Letts
410 So. 2d 197; 1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 19307 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Fell v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED.

LETTS, C. J., and HERSEY, J., concur. ANSTEAD, J., specially concurs with opinion.

Concurring Opinion

ANSTEAD, Judge,

specially concurring:

I concur in the majority’s affirmance, although the point raised by the appellant merits comment. The trial court, erroneously in my view, sustained an objection to a leading question posed to a witness, concerning a statement that the witness had allegedly made as to efforts by the witness to falsely connect the appellant with a weapon similar to the one involved in the offense for which appellant was convicted. However, upon review of the entire record, including the disclosure of substantial bias by this witness against the appellant I am convinced that the trial court’s error was harmless.
