507 So. 2d 180 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1987)

Opinion

No. 4-86-0762.

May 20, 1987.

Appeal and cross appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Mark A. Speiser, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant/cross appellee.

Robert A. Butterworth, Jr., Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Eddie J. Bell, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee/cross appellant.


Affirmed. We have considered and reject the three (3) claims of reversible error asserted by appellant. Without deciding the issue, we find any claim of error as to the admission of a paramedic's opinion as to the cause of the victim's death to be harmless in view of the overwhelming evidence that the death was caused by the automobile accident in question. Cf. Penton v. State, 114 So.2d 381 (Fla. 2d DCA 1959).

ANSTEAD, DELL and WALDEN, JJ., concur.
