On appeal from the Circuit Court for Jackson County.
Wade Mercer, Judge.
April 22, 2019
PER CURIAM.
Christopher Pittman appeals his convictions for trafficking
in cocaine (400 grams or more) and trafficking in
methamphetamine (200 grams or more) arguing the trial court
erred in denying his motions for mistrial. Each of his two
motions sought a mistrial for improper testimony. We find no
abuse of discretion in the denial of the respective motions as
neither instance of allegedly improper testimony vitiated the
entire trial. See England v. State, 940 So. 2d 389 (Fla. 2006).
Accordingly, the convictions are AFFIRMED.
WOLF, BILBREY, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
