BASALO v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Luis Alberto BASALO, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D17-2411

Decided: July 01, 2020

Before EMAS, C.J., and SALTER and LOBREE, JJ.

Rier Jordan, P.A., Andrew F. Rier and Jonathan E. Jordan, for appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Linda Katz, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Affirmed. Ultimately, defense “counsel expressed agreement with the way the transcript request was handled. Under the invited-error doctrine, a party may not make or invite error at trial and then take advantage of the error on appeal. Accordingly, [the defendant] is not permitted to take advantage of this invited error.” Gonzalez v. State, 136 So. 3d 1125, 1147 (Fla. 2014) (citation omitted); see also Adams v. State, 122 So. 3d 976, 977 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013) (holding that court's failure to inform jury of possibility of read-back of testimony was not fundamental error); Frasilus v. State, 46 So. 3d 1028, 1031 (Fla. 5th DCA 2010) (“Even if a court's failure to inform the jury of their right to request a read-back ․ were error, it is hard to conceive that it would be fundamental error.”).
