Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 10, 2001 · Cope, Gersten, Nesbitt
796 So. 2d 1214; 2001 Fla. App. LEXIS 14205; 2001 WL 1190855 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hoffman v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Although the trial court conducted a Nelson inquiry,* it is not clear that the trial court ever squarely confronted the question whether appellant had received effective assistance of counsel, and the record indicates that the appellant did not. We reverse the convictions and remand for a new trial.

Reversed and remanded.
