Head Matter:
Alberto PADRO, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 82-86.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Feb. 15, 1983.
Rehearing Denied April 6, 1983.
Bierman, Sonnett, Beiley, Shohat & Sale and Benedict P. Kuehne, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Scott A. Silver, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before HENDRY, BARKDULL and BASKIN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Finding that defendant Padro's extrajudicial statement denying criminal responsibility constituted an admission from which guilt might be inferred rather than a confession, that his statement was therefore admissible prior to the establishment of the corpus delicti, Nelson v. State, 372 So.2d 949 (Fla. 2d DCA 1979), and that his remaining points lack merit, we affirm the conviction.
