Bacon v. State

Bacon v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 1, 1996 · Dell, Polen, Stevenson
672 So. 2d 658; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 4576; 1996 WL 210903 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Bacon v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant and codefendants Algie Knight and Calvin Williams were convicted of trafficking in heroin. Appellant argues that the prosecutor’s remarks in closing warrant a new trial. In Knight v. State, 672 So.2d 590 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), we addressed the same issue and held that the prosecutor’s improper comments mandated a new trial. Accordingly, we reverse and remand this case for a new trial.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

DELL, POLEN and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
