Shorter v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided October 3, 2012No. 4D10-1085Published

1Opinion of the CourtConner, J.

Irvin Emmanuel Shorter appeals his conviction and sentence for robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. On appeal, he raises three issues. We affirm on all three issues, but write to discuss Shorter’s argument that the trial court erred by allowing a detective to testify to Shorter’s attempt to terminate a post-Miranda interview because the testimony infringed on his right to remain silent. We also address the State’s issue on cross-appeal that the trial court erred in admitting a forensic report as a business record and affirm the trial court.1
