COOKSTON v. STATE

No. 93-1571.

639 So.2d 100 (1994)

Timothy B. COOKSTON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Rehearing Denied July 13, 1994.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Noel A. Pelella, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Anthony J. Golden, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.

HARRIS, Chief Judge.

We find that the record supports the trial judge's conclusion that Cookston's confession was voluntarily and knowingly given; we therefore affirm Cookston's convictions. We also agree that the judge properly rejected youthful offender treatment for Cookston who was convicted of second degree murder, an offense authorizing a sentence for a term of years not exceeding life. Duke v. State, 541 So.2d 1170
