Apr 6, 1983
428 So. 2d 290 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

No. 82-86.

February 15, 1983. Rehearing Denied April 6, 1983.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Murray Goldman, J.

Bierman, Sonnett, Beiley, Shohat Sale and Benedict P. Kuehne, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Scott A. Silver, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before HENDRY, BARKDULL and BASKIN, JJ.


Finding that defendant Padro's extrajudicial statement denying criminal responsibility constituted an admission from which guilt might be inferred rather than a confession, that his statement was therefore admissible prior to the establishment of the corpus delicti, Nelson v. State, 372 So.2d 949 (Fla. 2d DCA 1979), and that his remaining points lack merit, we affirm the conviction.
