Adkins, Boyd, Carlton, Dekle, Drew, Ervin, McCain
Higgs v. State
Opinion of the Court
The appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree without recommendation of mercy in the Circuit Court in and for Broward County, Florida. Subsequently, under authority of Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. 2726, 33 L.Ed.2d 346 (1972), the Supreme Court of Florida in Anderson v. State, 267 So.2d 8 (Fla. 1972), reduced appellant’s sentence from death to life imprisonment. After argument, and upon careful consideration of the record and briefs in this case, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, the conviction, as pre
It is so ordered.
