Jefferson v. State
Jefferson v. State
Opinion of the Court
The writ of certiorari was granted to review the decision of the District Court of Appeal, Fourth District, in Jefferson v. State, 320 So.2d 827 (Fla. 4th DCA, 1975), because of apparent conflict with Jefferson v. State, 334 So.2d 178 (Fla. 4th DCA, 1976). We have this date quashed the decision of the District Court of Appeal in the latter case, State v. Jefferson, 347 So.2d 427 (Fla. 1977). Having dispelled the conflict, the writ heretofore issued is hereby discharged. Cf. Adams v. State, 341 So.2d 765 (Fla. 1976).
It is so ordered.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting.
I dissent. I feel it was reversible error for the court not to charge the jury in this case that it could find the appellant guilty of murder in the second degree. See Adams v. State, 341 So.2d 765 (Fla. 1976), Boyd, J., dissenting.
