. . . Pursuant to Florida Statute 939.02. THE COURT: Okay. . . . The State claims the authority for a venire fee comes from section 939.02, Florida Statutes, which says . . . trial court judge shall be taxed against the defendant on conviction or estreat of recognizance.” § 939.02 . . . Section 939.02 does not set out any specific cost or fee, let alone a “venire fee.” . . . We see no basis for interpreting section 939.02 as allowing jury or “venire” costs that are disallowed . . .
. . . Our conclusions therefore, are not determinative of any rights of appellant's estate under §§ 939.01, 939.02 . . .
