Description
This case is before the Court for review of the decision of the Fifth District Court of Appeal in Blanton v. State, 880 So. 2d 798 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004), based on express and direct conflict with the decision in Lopez v. State, 888 So. 2d 693 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004), approved, 33 Fla. L. Weekly S22 (Fla. Jan. 10, 2008). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, Γ§ 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. For the reasons explained below, we disapprove the reasoning of the Fifth District in Blanton on the issue of a discovery deposition being an opportunity to cross-examine, but approve the result affirming the convictions based on harmless error.
