No. 2D01-1066.

829 So.2d 289 (2002)

Jose PENA, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

October 18, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Terrence E. Kehoe, Special Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Erica M. Raffel, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


ALTENBERND, Judge.

Jose Pena appeals his judgment for first-degree murder and his sentence of life without possibility of parole. Mr. Pena was charged and convicted of murder resulting from the unlawful distribution of an illegal drug under section 782.04(1)(a)(3), Florida Statutes (1999). Although Mr. Pena raises several issues warranting discussion and certification to the supreme court, we affirm the judgment and sentence.
