District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided February 3, 1993

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1993-02-03

Relies on North Carolina v. Pearce · 491 So. 2d 1129 - State v. DiGuilio · 594 So. 2d 292 - Fenelon v. State

Decided 1993-02-03

PER CURIAM.

¶1Appellant argues correctly that the trial court erred by giving the “flight” jury instruction under the prohibition set forth in Fenelon v. State, 594 So.2d 292 (Fla.1992).

¶2We conclude that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla.1986).

¶3We further find no error in the trial court again sentencing appellant to five and one-half years imprisonment on remand. North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed.2d 656 (1969) is inapplicable here.
