Description

Appellant, Curtis Hickson, was convicted of aggravated battery on a police officer, simple battery, and resisting arrest with violence. Hickson appealed to this court, and we affirmed. Hickson then petitioned this court for a writ of habeas corpus, arguing that his appellate counsel was ineffective on direct appeal for failing to object to an erroneous jury instruction. In Hickson v. State, 873 So. 2d 474 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004), we granted the petition to allow Hickson a second appeal addressing his ineffective assistance of counsel claim. However, after a review of the entire record on appeal, we affirm. We find that the failure of Hicksons counsel to object to an erroneous jury instruction at trial did not amount to fundamental error because Hickson was not entitled to the self-defense instruction at trial.
