District Court of Appeal of Florida

The judgment of conviction is affirmed where the trial court conducted an appropriate colloquy on the record which demonstrates that the decision to proceed with five jurors was made knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily. The denial of credit for time served is reversed and remanded as the court erred in not crediting appellant with time he spent in county jail awaiting trial.
