Supreme Court of Florida · decided 1972-10-18

Relies on Furman v. Georgia · 267 So. 2d 8 - Anderson v. State

Decided 1972-10-18

PER CURIAM.

¶1The appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree without recommendation of mercy in the Second Judicial Circuit in and for Leon County, Florida. Subsequently, under authority of Furman v. Georgia,1 the Supreme Court of Florida in Anderson et al. v. State,2 reduced the appellant’s sentence from death to life imprisonment. After argument, and upon careful consideration of the record and briefs in this case, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, the conviction, as previously modified by reduction of sentence, is affirmed.

¶2It is so ordered.

ROBERTS, C. J„ ERVIN, CARLTON, BOYD and DEKLE, JJ., and WIGGIN-TON, District Court Judge, concur.
