Williams v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Williams v. State, 824 So. 2d 1050 (2002)
2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 12782; 2002 WL 2008104
Gross, Hazouri, Warner

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. Although the prosecutor made an unobjected to misstatement of law in closing argument, we conclude that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt when viewed in the context of the entire closing argument; the considerable number of times during argument where the prosecutor made the correct statement of law; the court’s instructions that what the lawyers say is neither evidence nor argument; and the court’s proper instructions of the law. See Almeida v. State, 748 So.2d 922, 927 (Fla. 1999).

WARNER, GROSS and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.
