Williams v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 30, 1999 · Allen, Davis, Ervin
732 So. 2d 430; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 5499; 1999 WL 253529 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Williams v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the appellant’s convictions and remand this case to the trial court for a new trial because the trial court permitted the appellant to handle significant portions of his defense without first advising him of the dangers of self-representation. See Brooks v. State, 703 So.2d 504 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997).

ERVIN, ALLEN and DAVIS, JJ., CONCUR.
