Davis v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
May 29, 1991
579 So. 2d 418 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 90-0831.

May 29, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Russell E. Seay, Jr., Judge.

Michael D. Gelety, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Georgina Jimenez-Orosa, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm the conviction of appellant. While the prosecutor did make a comment on appellant's right to remain silent in his closing argument, appellant's counsel did not object and thus did not preserve the error for appeal. Clark v. State, 363 So.2d 331 (Fla. 1978), receded from on other grounds, State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 1986). In addition, the objection to the identification of appellant was also not preserved for review. Douglas v. State, 328 So.2d 18 (Fla. 1976).

We also affirm the sentence as an habitual offender. However, we remand for correction of the "Order Finding Defendant to be an Habitual Violent Felony Offender." At the sentencing hearing and on the written sentence, the court found appellant to be only an habitual offender. Therefore, the order enumerating reasons must be corrected to find that the court was sentencing as an habitual offender, not an habitual violent offender.

ANSTEAD, STONE and WARNER, JJ., concur.
