Dior v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Where the defendant’s alleged profane statements were uttered out of the court’s hearing, the resulting conviction for direct criminal contempt was reversible error. Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.830; Pugliese v. Pugliese, 347 So.2d 422 (Fla. 1977). The State confesses the error.

Reversed and remanded.
