District Court of Appeal of Florida October 31, 2000, No. 1D99-2593 (Collins v. State)

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges his convictions and sentences for various crimes arising out of the robbery of a restaurant. As one of the issues raised on appeal, appellant argues that the trial court’s explanation to the jury as to why one of the victims of the crime would not be available for cross-examination unfairly prejudiced his right to a fair trial.
