Johnson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Dec 21, 1990
574 So. 2d 1116 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 87-03214.

December 21, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Susan C. Bucklew, Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Kevin Briggs, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and William I. Munsey, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


ON MOTION FOR REHEARING


Upon consideration of the appellant's motion for rehearing, we withdraw our opinion of July 27, 1990, and substitute the following opinion.

We find no reversible error in the trial court's sustaining the state's peremptory challenge to a black juror. Green v. State, 572 So.2d 543 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). We, therefore, affirm the appellant's convictions and sentences for resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer. Costs and fees imposed against the appellant who is indigent are stricken, however, without prejudice to the state to have the costs reimposed upon proper notice and an opportunity to be heard.

SCHOONOVER, C.J., and LEHAN, J., concur.
