Opinion
No. 89-2852.
March 6, 1991. Rehearing Denied April 18, 1991.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, St. Lucie County, Joe Wild, J.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Joseph A. Tringali, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
AFFIRMED. We find no error in the trial court's decision to permit, in essence, appellant to act as co-counsel. Cf. State v. Tait, 387 So.2d 338 (Fla. 1980). We also find no error in the trial court's denial of a mistrial and in admitting into evidence appellant's statement to the police. See Dufour v. State, 495 So.2d 154 (Fla. 1986) and State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 1986). Similarly, we reject appellant's claims as to the habitual offender statute. Johnson v. State, 564 So.2d 1174 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). Finally, we find no double jeopardy violation by appellant's conviction of attempted burglary, possession of burglary tools and criminal mischief. See Ferguson v. State, 420 So.2d 585 (Fla. 1982).
ANSTEAD, LETTS and STONE, JJ., concur.
