Henderson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Jun 3, 1976
332 So. 2d 30 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1976)

Opinion

No. Z-115.

April 30, 1976. Rehearing Denied June 3, 1976.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Leon County, John A. Rudd, J.

Richard W. Ervin, III, Public Defender, and Gary M. Delohery, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Raymond L. Marky, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


Appellant Henderson, who when apprehended at the scene of a break-in possessed a substantial quantity of stolen goods, was tried jointly with Thomas E. Reynolds whose appeal was also decided today. Reynolds v. State, 332 So.2d 27 (Fla.App. 1st, 1976). Henderson complains, as did Reynolds, of the trial court's failure to repeat the court's charge on the presumption of innocence when, as requested by the jury, he recharged on the State's burden of proof. The evidence of Henderson's guilt was overwhelming and the court's failure to repeat all portions of the requested charge was harmless to Henderson. DeLaine v. State, 262 So.2d 655 (Fla. 1972); Mathews v. State, 221 So.2d 431 (Fla.App.2d 1969).

AFFIRMED.

RAWLS, Acting C.J., and MILLS, J., concur.
