Lacy v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 27, 1983 · Anstead, Beranek, Hurley
435 So. 2d 353; 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 21732 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Lacy v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse and remand for a new trial on the authority of White v. State, 365 So.2d 199 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978). We also believe a new trial is warranted by reason of the prosecutor’s improper private conversation with one of the jurors and his failure to disclose that conversation to the court.

REVERSED and REMANDED for a new trial.

ANSTEAD, C.J., and BERANEK and HURLEY, JJ., concur.
