Yant v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Nov 29, 1966
192 So. 2d 297 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1966)

Opinion

No. 66-180.

November 29, 1966.

Appeal from the Criminal Court of Record, Dade County, Jack A. Falk, J.

Philip Carlton, Jr., Miami, for appellant.

Earl Faircloth, Atty. Gen., and Barry N. Semet, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before PEARSON and SWANN, JJ., and KNUCK, FRANCIS X., Associate Judge.


This appeal by the defendant, Samuel Yant, attacks the sufficiency of the evidence under which he was found guilty of the crime of robbery.

The record reflects that one of the victims of the robbery positively identified the defendant at the trial, and that he had previously identified him at a line up and from photographs. There were some minor conflicts between the witnesses concerning the color of clothing worn by the robbers and their exact height and weight.

The judgment is affirmed on the authority of Dixon v. State, 143 Fla. 277, 196 So. 604 (1940), and Wright v. State, Fla.App. 1966, 182 So.2d 264.

It is so ordered.
