Thomas v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Mar 4, 1982
410 So. 2d 635 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

No. AE-441.

March 4, 1982.

An Appeal from Circuit Court, Suwannee County; L. Arthur Lawrence, Jr., Judge.

Carl S. McGinnes, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Carolyn M. Snurkowski, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


Otis James Thomas appeals his convictions of attempted aggravated assault, shooting at a motor vehicle and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. We find no abuse of discretion in the trial court's denial of severance of the firearm possession count and in the admission of evidence revealing the nature of the prior felony conviction. See Dedmon v. State, 400 So.2d 1042 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981); Parker v. State, 408 So.2d 1037 (Fla.S.Ct. 1982).

Accordingly, the judgment and sentences entered below are AFFIRMED.

BOOTH, SHIVERS and JOANOS, JJ., concur.
