Dunbar v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided November 9, 1984No. 84-682PublishedCited by 2 opinions

1Per curiam

Appellant, Robert L. Dunbar, appeals his conviction and sentence for sexual battery and robbery in violation of sections 794.-011(3) and 812.13(2)(a), Florida Statutes (1983). We affirm.

Appellant raises one point on appeal, asserting that the trial court erred in allowing the prosecutor to comment during closing argument on appellant’s failure to call certain witnesses. He contends that these comments infringed on his constitutional right to remain silent, as well as his right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. We find no merit in appellant’s argument.
