616 So. 2d 631 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1993)

Opinion

No. 92-2081.

April 21, 1993.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for St. Lucie County; L.B. Vocelle, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tanja Ostapoff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Melvina Racey Flaherty, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. Although the state concedes that the trial court erred in refusing to allow appellant to adduce testimony challenging the voluntariness of his statement to a sheriff's detective, see Palmes v. State, 397 So.2d 648 (Fla.), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 882, 102 S.Ct. 369, 70 L.Ed.2d 195 (1981), the error was harmless in this case. See State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 1986). We find no error in appellant's sentence.
