Supreme Court of Florida

Johnsen v. State

April 21, 1976332 So. 2d 69

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the trial court judgments, holding that Section 800.02 of the Florida Statutes is constitutional and that the defendants' conduct violated it. The Court also held that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in refusing a mistrial despite inflammatory prosecutorial remarks, and that the indictments sufficiently alleged the offenses. The convictions were therefore upheld.
