State v. Davis

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Mar 14, 1986
485 So. 2d 24 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1986)

Opinion

No. 85-1049.

March 14, 1986.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Polk County, Thomas M. Langston, J.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Robert J. Krauss, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellant.

Jack T. Edmund and Marshall Slaughter, Bartow, for appellee.


From our review of the record, which includes the tape recording of the polygraph examinations and the transcript of appellee's confessions which immediately followed, we cannot say that the court erred in suppressing the confessions as the product of an unacceptable level of psychological coercion exerted by the polygraph examiner on the appellee. See Brewer v. State, 386 So.2d 232 (Fla. 1980).

Affirmed.

GRIMES, A.C.J., and FRANK and HALL, JJ., concur.
