208 So. 2d 835 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1968)

Opinion

No. 67-618.

April 9, 1968. Rehearing Denied May 1, 1968.

Appeal from the Criminal Court of Record, Dade County, Carling Stedman, J.

Bernard A. Wieder, Miami Beach, for appellant.

Earl Faircloth, Atty. Gen. and Arthur L. Rothenberg, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before CHARLES CARROLL, C.J., and PEARSON and HENDRY, JJ.


The appellant was convicted in the Criminal Court of Record of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in personal injury and property damage. His contention here is that the evidence was not sufficient to identify him as the driver of the automobile involved. We consider the evidence of identity to be sufficient. See Hyman v. State, 152 Fla. 446, 12 So.2d 437 (1943). See also the principle set forth in Beck v. State, 142 Fla. 524, 195 So. 143 (1940).

Affirmed.
