Smith v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 19, 1999 · Antoon, Griffin, Harris
744 So. 2d 1248; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 15446; 1999 WL 1043909 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Smith v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Lorenzo Smith appeals his conviction on the charge of second-degree murder,1 arguing that the trial court’s admission of the victim’s dying declaration violated his constitutional rights to confront his accuser2 and to receive due process of law3. This argument is completely devoid of merit. See Conner v. State, 24 F.L.W. S428, - So.2d -, 1999 WL 731664 (Fla. 1999); see also Ohio v. Roberts, 448 U.S. 56, 100 S.Ct. 2531, 65 L.Ed.2d 597 (1980).

JUDGMENT and SENTENCE AFFIRMED.

ANTOON, C.J., HARRIS and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.

. § 782.04(2), Fla. Stat. (1997).

. Art. I, § 16(a), Fla. Const.

.Art. I, § 9, Fla. Const.
