695 So. 2d 915 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1997)

Opinion

Case No. 95-2193

Opinion filed June 25, 1997.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Martin D. Kahn, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and May L. Cain, Special Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Richard L. Polin, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and COPE and LEVY, JJ.


Rejecting the appellant's primary point on appeal from his first degree murder conviction, we find no error in the trial court's exclusion of proffered "expert" testimony that the crime occurred while he was "subject to a homosexual rage, which explains the form of the killing and how he carried the killing out and why it happened under those circumstances." Lee v. Department of Health Rehabilitative Servs., ___ So.2d ___ (Fla. Case no. 87,071, opinion filed, June 19, 1997)[22 FLW S354]; Hadden v. State, 690 So.2d 573 (Fla. 1997); see State v. Bias, 653 So.2d 380 (Fla. 1995). There is no other error.

Affirmed.
