DAVIS v. STATE

No. 79-698.

376 So.2d 1198 (1979)

Tyrone DAVIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Rehearing Denied November 29, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jack O. Johnson, Public Defender, and Paul C. Helm, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Eula Tuttle Mason, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

HOBSON, Judge.

The appellant appeals his conviction for burglary of a dwelling and sexual battery. Although two points have been raised, only one, involving the admissibility of collateral crimes on the issue of identity, has merit and requires reversal.

Evidence of collateral crimes is relevant and therefore admissible for any purpose save that of showing bad character or propensity. Williams v. State, 110 So.2d 654
