West v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Feb 2, 1996
686 So. 2d 5 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 94-04520.

February 2, 1996.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County; Robert A. Young, Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and John T. Kilcrease, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Wendy Buffington, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


Torris West challenges his convictions for two counts of armed robbery. We find no merit in his argument that a mistrial should have been granted based on improper comments by the prosecutor during closing argument. Therefore, we affirm his conviction without prejudice to raise his ineffective assistance of counsel claim in the appropriate proceeding.

CAMPBELL, A.C.J., and PATTERSON and QUINCE, JJ., concur.
