COON v. STATE

Supreme Court of Florida

269 So. 2d 1 (Fla. 1972)

Opinion

No. 41703.

October 18, 1972. Rehearing Denied December 11, 1972.

Appeal from Circuit Court in and for Leon County; Ben C. Willis, Judge.

Keith J. Kinderman, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Wallace E. Allbritton, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


The appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree without recommendation of mercy in the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida. Subsequently, under authority of Furman v. Georgia, the Supreme Court of Florida in Anderson et al. v. State, reduced the appellant's sentence from death to life imprisonment. After argument, and upon careful consideration of the record and briefs in this case, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, the conviction, as previously modified by reduction of sentence, is affirmed.

408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. 2726, 33 L.Ed.2d 346 (Opinion filed July 17, 1972).

267 So.2d 8 (Opinion filed September 8, 1972).

It is so ordered.

ROBERTS, C.J., ERVIN, CARLTON, BOYD and DEKLE, JJ., and WIGGINTON, District Court Judge, concur.
