WEAVER v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Jerry Terrell WEAVER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D19-2471

Decided: June 17, 2020

Before EMAS, C.J., and SCALES and MILLER, JJ.

Jerry Terrell Weaver, in proper person. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Ivy R. Ginsberg, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Affirmed. See Hampton v. State, 219 So. 3d 760, 774 (Fla. 2017) (concluding the defendant could not establish that he was prejudiced by defense counsel's failure to object when the trial court stated the defendant could not confer with defense counsel during a court recess, while the defendant was on the stand; the defendant was present in the courtroom when defense counsel explained to the trial court the compromise reached with the State with respect to the defendant's testimony, and therefore, it was “purely speculative” that the defendant's testimony “would have been any different had his counsel consulted with him during the recess”).

PER CURIAM.
