ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
This appeal is brought from a conviction and thirty-year sentence for trafficking in cocaine. The appellant's first of three contentions on appeal is that a prospective juror should have been dismissed for cause where a reasonable doubt existed as to her impartiality.
At trial, appellant exhausted her final peremptory challenge in removing a potential juror after that juror, the stepmother of two police officer sons, expressed doubt as to her ability to be impartial in weighing the testimony of police officers. Although appellant asked for and was denied additional peremptory challenges, she made no further contentions that the panel ultimately chosen included an objectionable juror.
We affirm on the authority of Trotter v. State, [ 576 So.2d 691] (Fla. 1990) (to show reversible error, a party must show that all peremptories had been exhausted and that an objectionable juror had to be accepted). We find no merit in appellant's two remaining points on appeal.
Affirmed.
