Hammack v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 24, 1992 · Anstead, Farmer, Warner
601 So. 2d 308; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 7270; 1992 WL 138797 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hammack v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Reversed and remanded for a new trial on the authority of Turner v. State, 376 So.2d 429 (Fla. 1st DCA1979) and Lawson v. State, 251 So.2d 683 (Fla. 3d DCA1971). We also agree with appellant that it was error for the trial court to first suggest, and thereafter, permit, the state’s police witnesses to wear shirts with the word “POLICE” printed thereon, after granting a motion to suppress the state’s use of such a shirt as evidence.

ANSTEAD, WARNER and FARMER, JJ., concur.
