McDowell v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm, but, as in Walker v. State, 853 So.2d 498 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003), certify the following question to be one of great public importance:

IS THE FLORIDA STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTION ON “POSSESSION OF PROPERTY RECENTLY STOLEN” AN IMPERMISSIBLE COMMENT ON THE EVIDENCE?

AFFIRMED.

WOLF, C.J., ERVIN and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
