Edwards v. State

The defendant was convicted of first degree murder. His sole contention is that his attorney’s failure to request a jury instruction on the defense of intoxication deprived him of the effective assistance of counsel. Since such a claim may not be considered on this direct appeal, State v. Barber, 301 So.2d 7 (Fla.1974); Manker v. State, 429 So.2d 373 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983), the judgment is affirmed without prejudice to the filing of an appropriate motion under Fla.R. Crim.P. 3.850.
