219 So. 2d 468 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1969
The only substantial question presented on this appeal is the appellants’ contention that their constitutional rights were violated by the admission of the following testimony by the arresting officers:
[Cross-examination of Officer Tate]
“Q Did you advise them of their right as they were placed under arrest?
A I myself personally?
Q Yes.
A No, I did not.”
* * * * *
[Direct-examination of Detective Sa-vaggi]
“A Yes, they were handcuffed in the parking lot, and people were coming, and so to avoid a scene we were taking both into the store room. I was leading Mr. Cook and Mr. Sellers, which were only a couple of feet in front of me, and Officer Tate was behind me, and Detective Zeresk was standing on the scene.
Q Was anything said by Sellers at that time and point?
A Mr. Sellers said that he didn’t know why he did a crazy thing like this.
Mr. Quick: To which we will object, your Honor * * *
The Court: Overruled * * * ”
Affirmed.
