WARRICK v. STATE, 275 So.2d 241 (Fla. 1973)

SAMUEL WADE WARRICK, APPELLANT, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE.

No. 41842.Supreme Court of Florida.
March 28, 1973.

Appeal from Circuit Court of Palm Beach County; Joseph P. Metzger, Judge.

Charles W. Musgrove, Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Donald K. Rudser, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree without recommendation of mercy. Subsequently under authority of Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. 2726, 33 L.Ed.2d 346, the Supreme Court of Florida in Anderson v. State, 267 So.2d 8
(Fla. 1972) reduced appellant’s sentence from death to life imprisonment. Upon careful consideration and analysis of the record and briefs in this case, we find no reversible error. Accordingly, the conviction, as previously modified by reduction of sentence, is affirmed.

It is so ordered.

CARLTON, C.J., and ROBERTS, ERVIN, ADKINS, BOYD, McCAIN and DEKLE, JJ., concur.
