Maniscalo v. State

Supreme Court of Florida, Division A
Sep 25, 1929
123 So. 922 (Fla. 1929)

Opinion

Opinion filed September 25, 1929.

A Writ of Error to the Criminal Court of Record for Hillsborough County; W. Raleigh Petteway, Judge.

Writ of error quashed.

Zewadski Pierce, for Plaintiff in Error;

Fred H. Davis, Attorney General, and Roy Campbell, Assistant, for the State.


The alleged judgment to which this writ of error is addressed is nothing more than the sentence of the court. It contains no adjudication by the court of the guilt of the defendant. Johnson v. State, 81 Fla. 783, 89 So. R. 114, and cases cited; Timmons v. State, 119 So. R. 393; Caughn v. State, 122 So. R. 565. As indicated in the cases cited, a so-called judgment which contains no adjudication by the court of the guilt of the defendant, does not constitute such a final judgment as will support a writ of error. The writ of error in this case, therefore, must be quashed.

Writ of error quashed.

TERRELL, C. J., AND ELLIS, J., concur.
