Thomas v. State

Thomas v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 2, 1988 · Downey, Letts, Stone
532 So. 2d 1141; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 2427; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 4744; 1988 WL 114629 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Thomas v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

After review of the record, we conclude that the trial court erred in failing to conduct an adequate Richardson inquiry before admitting into evidence for impeachment purposes, a photograph which had not been disclosed in discovery. See, e.g., Richardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1971); Donahue v. State, 464 So.2d 609 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985).

The convictions and sentences are therefore reversed and remanded for a new trial

DOWNEY, LETTS and STONE, JJ., concur.
