Tucker v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 22, 1971 · Liles, Mann, Pierce
243 So. 2d 186 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Tucker v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Tucker alleges that as a result of threats and coercive treatment, he made statements which were used against him to force him into pleading guilty. Nothing in the record refutes his allegations, and Tucker therefore should be granted an evidentiary hearing. Rudolph v. State, Fla.App.1970, 230 So.2d 14; Cf. Steinhauser v. State, Fla.App.1969, 228 So.2d 446.

Reversed and remanded with directions.

PIERCE, C. J., and LILES and MANN, JJ., concur.
