Opinion
No. 82-2254.
October 19, 1983.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Marvin U. Mounts, Jr., J.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Glinalee Kretschmer, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, Grace M. Gonzalez and Sharon Lee Stedman, Asst. Attys. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
Defendant was charged with aggravated assault with a knife. After a jury trial, he was found guilty of simple assault and sentenced to sixty days in jail. On appeal, he contends that the court erred in rejecting a requested jury instruction on self defense without deadly force. We affirm and conclude that error did not occur. The defendant's rejected jury instruction did not contain a correct statement of the law.
AFFIRMED.
ANSTEAD, C.J., and BERANEK, J., concur.
HURLEY, J., dissents without opinion.
