Guerra v. State
Guerra v. State
Opinion of the Court
Rejecting each of the appellant’s claims of error with respect to his multiple convictions, we hold that (a) the trial judge did not err in concluding that the state’s peremptory challenges were not racially motivated, see Davis v. State, 560 So.2d 1346 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990); Knight v. State, 559 So.2d 327 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990), review denied, 574 So.2d 141 (Fla. 1990); (b) the motion to suppress the defendant’s confession on the ground of involuntariness was properly denied; (c) the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction of false imprisonment, see Perez v. State, 566 So.2d 881 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990); and (d) the court’s failure to elucidate the concepts of justifiable and excusable homicide was not fundamental error. State v. Delva, 575 So.2d 643 (Fla. 1991); Williams v. State, 400 So.2d 542 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 1149, 103 S.Ct. 793, 74 L.Ed.2d 998 (1983).
We similarly find no error in the imposition of sentences in upward deviation from
Affirmed, remanded.
