BECRAFT v. STATE

No. 4D04-1287.

910 So.2d 413 (2005)

Michael Douglas BECRAFT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

September 21, 2005.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert J. Watson of Frierson & Watson, Stuart, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


WARNER, J.

Appellant, Michael Becraft, challenges his convictions for sexual battery and sexual activity with a minor. He contends that improper collateral crime evidence was admitted, and a juror was struck by the state without a race-neutral explanation. We disagree on both issues, concluding that the evidentiary issue was not preserved and the court acted within its discretion in evaluating the state's reason for striking the juror.
