Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
Defendant Robert Williams raises two points in his appeal from judgment of conviction of second-degree murder and a sentence of fifteen years imprisonment. Under the facts of this case, we discern no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s decision to permit rebuttal testimony and to deny Williams’s request to present surrebuttal evidence. Gandy v.

See Davis v. Ivey, 93 Fla. 387, 112 So. 264 (1927); Williams v. State, 487 So. 2d 94 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986); Gandy v. State, 440 So. 2d 432 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983). In the instant case, however, the trial court exercised no discretion; rather, it simply held that such testimony was improper as a matter of law, regardless of its content. In…
