Opinion:
PER CURIAM-:
Although defendant correctly asserts that the comment of a witness reflecting upon defendant's character was inadmissible evidence, a study of the record, the manner in which the comment came in, the trial judge's instructions to the jury, and the nature of the overall evidence in the ease, convinces us that no reversible error occurred.
Affirmed.
