HILL v. STATE

No. 1D05-3657.

933 So.2d 667 (2006)

Jeffrey Timothy HILL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

July 13, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, Kathleen A. Stover, Assistant Public Defender, and Jamie N. Spivey, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Charlie Crist, Attorney General, and Felicia A. Wilcox, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


PADOVANO, J.

The defendant, Jeffrey Hill, appeals his conviction for armed robbery. He seeks reversal on the ground that the trial court erred in allowing the state to present evidence that he had confessed to several unrelated robberies. Because the record does not support the trial court's conclusion that the defendant opened the door to the presentation of this evidence, and because it was not otherwise relevant to any issue in this case, we reverse.
