Jackson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided June 16, 1999No. 98-1159Published

1Per curiam

We affirm appellant’s conviction for delivery of cocaine. The prosecutor’s closing stayed within the bounds of a fair reply to the defense argument concerning “lack of evidence.” Cf. Hazelwood v.

We also affirm appellant’s sentence as an habitual felony offender, without prejudice to seek post-conviction relief. See Torres v. State, 715 So.2d 1151 (Fla. 3rd DCA 1998); Speights v. State, 711…
