WADDELL v. STATE

No. 83-853.

458 So.2d 1140 (1984)

Mary Ethel WADDELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Rehearing Denied November 20, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and David A. Henson, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Margene A. Roper, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.


COBB, Chief Judge.

The appellant, Mary Ethel Waddell, was convicted of forgery and uttering a forged instrument. On appeal she asserts that she was forced to peremptorily challenge two prospective jurors, Matthews and McGriff, from the panel "after each indicated they would infer guilt should the Defendant exercise her Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination." The record, as we read it, does not support this assertion.
