Grant v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 18, 2007 · Klein, Shahood, Stevenson
954 So. 2d 690; 2007 Fla. App. LEXIS 5622; 2007 WL 1135670 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Grant v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted of attempted second degree murder and battery. He argues that the trial court erred in allowing the state to cross-examine him on a statement he made to a detective because it was beyond the scope of direct examination. We find no abuse of discretion. Appellant also argues that the victim, a former crack user, should not have been allowed to testify that he had stopped using crack and was enrolled in a recovery program. Athough we agree this evidence was not admissible, it was harmless.

Affirmed.

STEVENSON, C.J., KLEIN and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
