Mangam v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 31, 1975 · Ger, Owen, Walden
324 So. 2d 672; 1975 Fla. App. LEXIS 19080 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Mangam v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant appeals from the revocation of his probation.

It is manifest from the colloquy that the trial court, in effect, ruled that appellant did not have Fifth Amendment constitutional rights and penalized him for refusing to testify.

We reverse upon authority of Heath v. State, 310 So.2d 38 (Fla.App. 4th, 1975), and remand for a new hearing.

Reversed and remanded.

WALDEN, C. J., and OWEN and MA-GER, JJ., concur.
