Poly v. State
466 So. 2d 423; 10 Fla. L. Weekly 864; 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 13286
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Poly v. State
Opinion of the Court
AFFIRMED.
Concurring Opinion
specially concurring.
I do not think the improprieties of the prosecutor rose to the level of fundamental error here so I am in agreement with the result. Nonetheless, the prosecutor’s behavior was improper. Any kid out of law school knows that a prosecutor should not, in closing argument, tell a jury that he did not know if he “could live with himself” if the jury found the defendant not guilty.
For such a statement, he needs his professional ears boxed.
