Samuel Francis TIRKO, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 61-378.
District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.
March 1, 1962. Rehearing Denied March 19, 1962.*389 Charles A. Gould, Jr., Miami, for appellant.
Richard W. Ervin, Atty. Gen., and Herbert P. Benn, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before HORTON, CARROLL and HENDRY, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant was informed against for breaking and entering with intent to commit grand larceny (§ 810.02, Fla. Stat., F.S.A.) and grand larceny (§ 811.021). On trial without a jury he was found guilty. Judgment and sentence followed, and he appealed. His two contentions have been considered and found to be without merit. The finger print evidence sufficiently met the requirement that where it is relied on to establish identity, the circumstances must be such that the print could have been made only at the time the crime was committed. See Annot. 28 A.L.R. 2d 1115, 1150-1155; 3 Wharton's Criminal Evidence, § 982 (12th ed. 1955). The court could have so found on the evidence presented. Undisputed evidence that the amount of money taken was $170 met the need to show a taking of more than $100 under the information.[1] Lang v. State, 42 Fla. 595, 28 So. 856; 32 Am. Jur., Larceny, § 139.
Affirmed.
On Petition for Rehearing.
The petition calls attention to the reference in our opinion to the trial as having taken place before a jury, whereas the defendant was tried before the court without a jury. The opinion has been corrected accordingly. The petition for rehearing is denied.
