Kent v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

755 So. 2d 805 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

No. 1D99-2295.

Opinion filed April 17, 2000.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Liberty County, William L. Gary, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; David A. Davis, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Thomas D. Winokur and Charmaine Millsaps, Assistant Attorneys General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


In this direct criminal appeal, the sole issue raised by appellant was not preserved for review because the argument made on appeal was not made in the trial court. § 924.051(1)(b) (3), Fla. Stat. (1999). See Terry v. State, 668 So.2d 954, 961 (Fla. 1996) ("for an argument to be cognizable on appeal, it must be the specific contention asserted as the legal ground for objection, exception, or motion below"). To the extent any error occurred, it is not "fundamental." Accordingly, we affirm.

AFFIRMED.

MINER, WEBSTER and LAWRENCE, JJ., CONCUR.
