Perez v. Byrd

Perez v. Byrd
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 1, 1996 · Cobb, Goshorn, Sharp
682 So. 2d 643; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 11414; 1996 WL 631697 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Perez v. Byrd

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The only meritorious issue raised is the correctness of the trial court’s order granting mistrial based upon a witness’s statement indicating that the Plaintiff had received a traffic citation. The trial court found that the gratuitous comment was a clear implication of the Plaintiffs fault and granted a mistrial. We affirm. See Spanagel v. Love, 585 So.2d 317 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991).

COBB, W. SHARP and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.
