Opinion

No. 75-189.

July 31, 1975.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Palm Beach County; Vaughn J. Rudnick, Judge.

Richard W. Springer, of Kohl, Springer, Springer Vassallo, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Basil S. Diamond, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The evidence shows that prima facie proof of the corpus delicti was established, Williams v. State, 117 So.2d 548 (2d DCA Fla. 1960). The confession here was not tainted by the initial interrogation, made prior to any Miranda warnings, State v. Outten, 206 So.2d 392 (Fla. 1968).

Affirmed.

WALDEN, C.J., and CROSS and DOWNEY, JJ., concur.
