582 So. 2d 798 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1991
Calvin Washington has appealed from conviction and sentence following his plea of nolo contendere to one count of capital sexual battery. The only issue raised on appeal is the possible involuntariness of Washington’s plea. Any alleged infirmity concerning the intelligent or voluntary nature of a plea must first be raised in the trial court. Thomas v. State, 442 So.2d 296, 297 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983). Because Washington has not done so, the issue is not cognizable on direct appeal. See, e.g., Murray v. State, 566 So.2d 30 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990); Parker v. State, 576
