468 So.2d 1087

10 Fla.L.Weekly 1205

Wells v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1985-05-14

Relies on 213 So. 2d 499 - MacHin v. State · Hendrickson v. Seaboard Coast Line Railroad · Thomas v. State

Decided 1985-05-14

PER CURIAM.

¶1Defendant Wells, seeking reversal, cites as error the trial court’s ruling that if he displayed tatoos on his arms to the jury as evidence, he would be subject to cross-examination. We affirm; the issue was decided adversely to Wells’ contention in Machin v. State, 213 So.2d 499 (Fla. 3d DCA), cert. denied, 221 So.2d 747 (Fla.1968).

¶2Furthermore, we note that Wells was permitted to sit at counsel table with his arms exposed and that he failed to establish whether his arms bore tatoos at the time of the robbery and were therefore relevant to his defense. See Thomas v. State, 439 So.2d 245 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983).

¶3Affirmed.
