Heading: Assignments of Error 17(A), (D), (E) & Supplemental 1

Text: In these assignments, defendant asserts the trial court erred in not properly charging the jury on the voluntariness of defendant's confession, circumstantial evidence, defense evidence, and the State's burden when there is a concession of guilt. [12] As discussed earlier, in Taylor this court held the scope of review in capital cases will be limited to alleged errors occurring during the guilt phase that are contemporaneously objected to, and alleged errors occurring during the sentencing phase, whether objected to or not. Taylor, 93-2201 at p. 7, 669 So.2d at 369. Defendant did not request a charge on the voluntariness of defendant's confession, circumstantial evidence, the defense evidence, or the State's burden when there is a concession of guilt, nor did defendant object to their omission. These assignments are therefore barred under Taylor.
