FORDHAM v. STATE

No. 96-339.

683 So.2d 1157 (1996)

William FORDHAM, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

December 13, 1996.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Dan D. Hallenberg, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Robert B. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Steven J. Guardiano, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.


PER CURIAM.

The assistant state attorney who tried this case committed multiple improprieties during his closing argument. Trial judges who observe this conduct should bring to the offending lawyer's attention that it is disapproved. Defense counsel did object to certain of the comments and objections were sustained. No mistrial was sought. Those improper comments not objected to do not reach the level of fundamental error.

AFFIRMED.

PETERSON, C.J...
