Peri v. State, 412 So. 2d 367

BASKIN, Judge.

We find no abuse of discretion in the trial court‘s refusal to excuse for cause a prospective juror who admitted that his acquaintanceship with police officers would have “a little effect” and that he would give a police officer‘s testimony a little more respect, but who indicated that he would keep an open mind and follow the court‘s instructions. § 913.03, Fla. Stat. (1979). Appellant excused the prospective juror by exercising a peremptory challenge but did not indicate dissatisfaction with the jurors selected.

Appellant‘s remaining points lack merit.

Affirmed.
