Edwards v. State
Edwards v. State
429 So. 2d 834; 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 28968
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Edwards v. State
Opinion of the Court
The defendant was convicted of first degree murder. His sole contention is that his attorney’s failure to request a jury instruction on the defense of intoxication deprived him of the effective assistance of counsel. Since such a claim may not be considered on this direct appeal, State v. Barber, 301 So.2d 7 (Fla. 1974); Manker v. State, 429 So.2d 373 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983), the judgment is affirmed without prejudice to the filing of an appropriate motion under Fla.R. Crim.P. 3.850.
