Lаwrence C. MOORE, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 81-1321
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
August 24, 1982
418 So. 2d 435
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Calianne P. Lantz, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before BARKDULL, DANIEL S. PEARSON and FERGUSON, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Dеfendant was convicted of burglary, sexual battery, robbery (three counts), aggravated battery, unlаwful possession of a firearm while engaged in а criminal offense, and dealing in stolen proрerty (six counts). No reversible error is demonstratеd by this appeal.
The evidence, by its weight and legal sufficiency, supports the jury verdict of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Tibbs v. State, 397 So. 2d 1120, 1123 (Fla. 1981), aff‘d, 454 U.S. 963, 102 S. Ct. 502, 70 L. Ed. 2d 378 (U.S. 1982); Knight v. State, 392 So. 2d 337 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981).
A police witness‘s inаdvertent statement while testifying that “I got the picture from the files” in response to the proseсutor‘s inquiry as to how a photographic line-up was assembled did not require a mistrial. The prosecutor was obviously seeking to establish, as shown by succeeding questions, that the line-up was non-suggestivе. The fact that a photograph, cropped of its customary “mug shot” markings, is in police filеs does not necessarily convey to a jury that a defendant has committed prior crimes or has previously been in trouble with the policе; a jury instruction to that effect, if requested and givеn, would have cured the error. See Loftin v. State, 273 So. 2d 70 (Fla. 1973); Mancebo v. State, 350 So. 2d 1098 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977).
Appellant furthеr contends here that the prosecutor‘s reading of the defendant‘s home address to the jury from an
Affirmed.
