State of Florida v. Shawnest Angelo Ivey

Summary

The court held that Ivey did not preserve his objection to the State’s peremptory strike because he affirmatively accepted the jury without reserving the objection and later made only a nonspecific request for a continuing objection. A general reference to prior objections did not renew the abandoned, specific objection to the peremptory challenge. The court answered the rephrased certified question in the negative and quashed the district court’s decision.
