Melvin Douglas SAYAN, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
*364 Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, аnd Robert J. Fogan, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, Russell S. Bohn аnd Mary E. Marsden, Asst. Attys. Gen., West Palm Beach, for aрpellee.
ANSTEAD, Judge.
This appeal is from a judgment of conviction for first degree murder. The аppellant challenges the sufficienсy of the evidence and claims the trial сourt erred in several other respeсts during the course of his trial.
We have reviewed the entire record including the transcripts of testimony presented at trial; and, although we agree that the state's case was рrincipally based on circumstantial evidence, we find the evidence is adequatе to sustain the verdict of the jury and the ruling of the trial court in denying the motion for judgment of acquittаl. Cooper v. Wainwright,
Appellant also claims error by the trial court in giving an Allen or "dynamite" charge.[1] However, we find the record supports the trial court's action in giving the charge and furthеr find that the failure to object waived any оbjection appellant may have hаd to the instruction. As to the claim of error by the trial court in denying appellant's motion tо allow the jury to view the scene where thе victim's body was found, we also find no abuse of discretion and again find no objection by the аppellant to the trial court's statements to the jury concerning the reason for thе denial of the motion.
Finally, we find no error by the trial court in failing to dismiss the case becаuse there had been two previous mistrials which occurred when prior juries were discharged due to their inability to reach a verdiсt. After a mistrial, a case stands as if it had never been tried and the defendant is subject to bеing tried again on the same charge. Smith v. State,
Accordingly, having reviewеd the record and the issues raised by apрellant and finding no reversible error, the judgment and sentence of the trial court are hereby affirmed.
DOWNEY, C.J., and MOORE, J., concur.
