416 So. 2d 51 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

No. 81-2299.

July 7, 1982.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Broward County, Robert Lance Andrews, J.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Trela J. White, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

A police officer testified at appellant's trial that he placed appellant's photograph in a photographic display for viewing by the alleged victim only after receiving certain undisclosed information from an undisclosed source. The victim then selected appellant's photograph from the display. We believe the officer's testimony constituted improper hearsay. Postell v. State, 398 So.2d 851 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981); Molina v. State, 406 So.2d 57 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981). However we do not find a sufficient objection by appellant to preserve this error for appeal. Accordingly, we affirm.

AFFIRMED.

DOWNEY, ANSTEAD and HERSEY, JJ., concur.
