Supreme Court of Florida · decided 1972-12-20

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

Decided 1972-12-20

PER CURIAM.

¶1The appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree without recommendation of mercy in the Circuit Court in and for Broward County, Florida. Subsequently, under authority of Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. 2726, 33 L.Ed.2d 346 (1972), the Supreme Court of Florida in Anderson v. State, 267 So.2d 8 (Fla.1972), reduced 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 pre*715viously modified by reduction of sentence, is affirmed.

¶2It is so ordered.

ERVIN, Acting C. J., and CARLTON, ADKINS, BOYD, McCAIN and DEKLE, JJ., and DREW, J. (Retired), concur.
