Prieto v. State
Prieto v. State
564 So. 2d 293; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 5858; 1990 WL 111964
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Prieto v. State
Opinion of the Court
ON CONFESSION OF ERROR
Based upon the State’s confession of error and our own independent review of the record, the convictions and sentences in this case must be reversed in view of the trial court’s failure to appoint a second expert to determine the defendant’s competency to stand trial and the failure to conduct a competency hearing.
We do not address appellant’s request regarding a recusal of the trial judge in view of the fact that this issue was never raised by the defendant in the trial court.
Reversed and remanded.
