STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

No. JJ-275
McCORD, C. J., and BOYER and MILLS, JJ., concur.
364 So. 2d 15 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1978) Negative Treatment
Cited by 25 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, convicted for battery of a law enforcement officer contrary to Section 784.07, Florida Statutes (Supp.1976), asserts the evidence was insufficient to support the judgment urging that a county correctional officer and/or jailor is not a “law enforcement officer” within the meaning of Section 784.07.

This issue is not properly before us since the issue was not presented to the trial court by a motion for judgment of acquittal or otherwise. G.W.B. v. State, 340 So. 2d 969 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). Therefore, the judgment and sentence are AFFIRMED.

McCORD, C. J., and BOYER and MILLS, JJ., concur.

  • …owever, before a trial court can consider such extrinsic evidence in interpreting a contract, the words used must be unclear such that an ambiguity exists on the face of the contract. Boat Town U.S.A., Inc. v. Mercury Marine Div. of Brunswick Corp., 364 So. 2d 15 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978). A further limitation on the receipt of parol evidence to explain ambiguous contractual language is that the ambiguity must be latent as opposed to patent.
