v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Bay County.
Ana Garcia, Judge.
January 29, 2021
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Gore v. State, 846 So. 2d 461, 471-72 (Fla.
2003) (holding that appellate counsel was not ineffective for failing
to raise the claim that the jury pool might have seen defendant in
shackles just prior to voir dire where there was nothing in the
record to indicate that trial court erred in its attempt to resolve the
issue by offering defense counsel an opportunity to voir dire the
jury or to support a conclusion that there was any prejudice to
defendant that rose to the level of fundamental error); Koelemij v.
State, 285 So. 3d 376, 380 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (holding that the
trial courtโs admonition that defendant sit down when defense
counsel had him stand up during the victimโs identification of
defendant did not prejudice defendant so as to entitle him to a new
trial where defense counsel conceded that he did not believe the
reprimand had affected the outcome of the trial).
ROBERTS, OSTERHAUS, and JAY, JJ., concur.
