Ford v. State
Ford v. State
Opinion of the Court
Affirmed.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent.
The public defender was appointed to represent these two appellants for trial. Due to inadequate preparation for trial the lawyer did not discover until after the trial had begun that a conflict of interests existed. His representation of the two accused persons prevented at least one of the accused brothers testifying about his involvement, or alleged lack thereof, in the crime. In my opinion, justice requires a reversal

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
Motion for rehearing is DENIED.
CROSS and MOORE, JJ., concur.
DAUKSCH, J., dissents.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting:
The opinion in this case is in conflict with Wilson v. State, 348 So.2d 10 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977) and Baker v. State, 202 So.2d 563 (Fla. 1967) and that is why I dissented and why I think we should grant rehearing and grant a new trial.
