Dowling v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 25, 1993 · Baskin, Gersten, Hubbart
618 So. 2d 373; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 5856; 1993 WL 174865 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Dowling v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We have reconsidered this case in light of the Supreme Court’s mandate in Dowling v. State, 605 So.2d 465 (Fla. 1992). We affirm based upon Pardo v. State, 596 So.2d 665 (Fla. 1992).

We are affirming the convictions in this case because the admission of the child hearsay testimony did not rise to the level of reversible error. However, we caution the State that we will continue to scrutinize *374the admission of child hearsay testimony to prevent prosecutorial overkill.

Affirmed.
