925 So. 2d 454 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2006)

Opinion

No. 3D04-3072.

April 12, 2006.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Leonard E. Glick, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Gwendolyn Powell Braswell, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, and Paulette R. Taylor, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before GERSTEN, FLETCHER, and SUAREZ, JJ.


Roderick Ellis has appealed his conviction for second degree murder with a deadly weapon. After giving the police interrogator four or five (inconsistent) explanations as to why he shot and killed Tommy Collins ("Sam"), his final story was one of self-defense.

We have reviewed the record and conclude that any errors the trial court may have made are harmless error beyond a reasonable doubt.

Affirmed.
