Opinion

No. 81-2133.

June 10, 1987.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Arthur J. Franza, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Richard B. Greene, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Jr., Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Lee Rosenthal, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Affirmed. See State v. Marshall, 476 So.2d 150 (Fla. 1985); Lusk v. State, 446 So.2d 1038 (Fla. 1984); and McCray v. State, 416 So.2d 804 (Fla. 1982). As we recently did in Ciccarelli v. State, 508 So.2d 52 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987), we certify the following as a question of great public importance:

IS IT NECESSARY, IN EVALUATING AN ASSERTION OF HARMLESS ERROR IN A CRIMINAL APPEAL, THAT EACH APPELLATE JUDGE INDEPENDENTLY READ THE COMPLETE TRIAL RECORD?

HERSEY, C.J., concurs in result only.

ANSTEAD and STONE, JJ., concur.
