Jones v. State
465 So. 2d 566, 10 Fla. L. Weekly 706, 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 12883
District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided March 12, 1985·No. No. 84-1084·Published·Cited by 3 cases
Opinion
As it is not fundamental error to fail to instruct on an essential element of an offense where the existence of that element is not in genuine dispute, Morton v. State, 459 So.2d 322 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), the trial court’s instruction on an undisputed issue, even if erroneous, does not require reversal where there is no suggestion that the jury was misled.
The remaining issue raised by defendant has been decided adversely to him in L.S. v. State, 464 So.2d 1195 (Fla.1985), approving, 446 So.2d 1148 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).
Affirmed.
