Opinion of the Court
BASKIN, Judge.
We find no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s refusal to excuse for cause a prospective juror who admitted that his acquaintanceship with police officers would have “a little effect” and that he would give a police officer’s testimony a little more respect, but who indicated that he would keep an open mind and follow the court’s instructions. § 913.03, Fla.Stat. (1979). Appellant excused the prospective juror by exercising a peremptory challenge but did not indicate dissatisfaction with the jurors selected.
Appellant’s remaining points lack merit.
Affirmed.
