Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 11, 1987 · Baskin, Hendry, Schwartz

Wright v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The trial court’s admission of hearsay in the police officer’s testimony concerning the alleged victim’s description of the defendant was error; we conclude, however, that the error was harmless because the officer’s testimony impeached rather than *1160bolstered the victim’s testimony, and thus, under the standards of State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 1986), no prejudice appears. Silveira-Hernandez v. State, 495 So.2d 914 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986). Appellant’s other point lacks merit.

Affirmed.
