Opinion
No. 3D04-693.
January 18, 2006.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Pedro P. Echarte, Jr., Judge.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Howard K. Blumberg, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, and Douglas J. Glaid (Ft. Lauderdale), Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before FLETCHER and SHEPHERD, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
On overwhelming evidence, including the fact that he was apprehended after running from the scene and with stolen property, Moore was convicted of burglary and petit theft. Despite the importuning of his public defender, he decided to take the stand and did not do well. On appeal, he contends there was a conflict of interest between the public defenders and those who represented his juvenile co-perpetrators. In fact, there was no actual conflict whatever because, among other things, the public defender's office did not represent the juveniles in court proceedings. The appellant's second point is a sentencing issue which was resolved against him by the later-decided case of State v. Richardson, 915 So.2d 86 (Fla. 2005).
Affirmed.
