Marvin Davis, Walter Davis, Clinton H. Peeler and George Jacobs, in Error v. the State of Florida, in Error

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the defendants' confessions were voluntary and admissible, the testimony regarding corporate ownership was proper, the evidence against George Jacobs was sufficient, the prosecutor's comment on the defendant's silence did not violate the statute, and the denial of a new trial was proper. The Court deferred to the trial court's discretion on evidentiary matters and found no manifest error.
