Fields v. State

Supreme Court of Florida
Feb 1, 1937
172 So. 357 (Fla. 1937)

Opinion

Opinion Filed February 1, 1937.

A writ of error to the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, L.L. Parks, Judge.

Morrice T. Uman, for Plaintiff in Error.

Cary D. Landis, Attorney General, Roy Campbell, and John L. Graham, Assistant Attorneys General, for Defendant in Error.


Writ of error is to judgment of conviction of murder in the first degree without recommendation to mercy.

The only question presented challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to establish the element of premeditated design.

Under the rule stated in the case of Lowe v. The State of Florida, 90 Fla. 255, 105 So. 829, and cases there cited, there was ample evidence to warrant the jury in reaching the verdict upon which the judgment is based.

The judgment should be affirmed.

It is so ordered.

Affirmed.

ELLIS, C.J., WHITFIELD, TERRELL, BROWN, BUFORD, and DAVIS, J.J., concur.
