District Court of Appeal of Florida

Summary denial of a motion for postconviction relief from defendant's DUI manslaughter conviction is affirmed over claims that his trial attorney provided ineffective assistance by failing to object to the state-s toxicologist-s testimony regarding blood alcohol levels, and in failing to object to opinions an officer expressed, which were allegedly beyond the officer-s area of expertise.
