Simmons v. State

This cause is before us on appeal from Appellant’s convictions and sentences for first-degree murder, kidnapping, and sexual battery.

Regarding James Burney’s competence to testify, even if this issue was properly preserved for appellate review, which it was not, we conclude that no error occurred, based on this court’s decision in Simmons v. State, 683 So.2d 1101 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996).
