District Court of Appeal of Florida March 4, 1970, No. 2268 (Sturgis v. State)

McCAIN, Judge.

Appellant, with three other negro males, Stubbs, Jones and Waye, was jointly indicted and jointly tried for the crime of rape, a verdict of guilty with recommenda-ation of mercy being returned against all.

Appellant’s main vituperation concerns the admission into evidence of statements by two of the co-defendants, Jones and Stubbs, which inculpated him.
