No. 3D23-0735 Lower Tribunal No. F17-1803 ________________
Kevin Walker, Appellant,
vs.
The State of Florida, Appellee.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Andrea R. Wolfson, Judge.
Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Jennifer Thornton, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Ivy R. Ginsberg, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before FERNANDEZ, LINDSEY, and GOODEN, JJ.
PER CURIAM. Appellant Kevin Walker appeals a conviction and sentence for the
second-degree murder of Kevin Henry and the attempted manslaughter of
Samuel Nolan. Appellant contends that the State made improper argument
during closing arguments. We affirm because “the courts of this state allow
attorneys wide latitude to argue to the jury during closing argument. Logical
inferences may be drawn, and counsel is allowed to advance all legitimate
arguments.” Smith v. State, 7 So. 3d 473, 509 (Fla. 2009) (citations
omitted).
Affirmed.
