Opinion

No. 73-338.

December 11, 1973.

Appeal from Criminal Court of Record, Dade County; Arthur E. Huttoe, Judge.

Max B. Kogen, Miami, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Joel D. Rosenblatt and Linda Hertz, Asst. Attys. Gen., for appellee.

Before PEARSON, HENDRY and HAVERFIELD, JJ.


Appellant, defendant in the trial court, seeks review of a judgment and sentence of eighteen months in the state penitentiary for buying, receiving or concealing stolen property.

Three points are raised by appellant for our consideration: (1) the testimony of the district operating manager of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company was inadmissible hearsay; (2) the evidence was insufficient to prove that tires found in defendant's home were those stolen from Firestone's private siding; and (3) the evidence was insufficient to prove defendant's guilty knowledge that tires he purchased were stolen.

We have carefully considered appellant's points on appeal and found them to be without substantial merit. Williams v. State, Fla.App. 1969, 222 So.2d 428; Costantino v. State, Fla.App. 1969, 224 So.2d 341; Ard v. State, Fla. 1959, 108 So.2d 38; Romanello v. State, Fla.App. 1964, 160 So.2d 529.

No reversible error having been demonstrated the judgment and sentence are affirmed.

Affirmed.
