Chandler v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 6, 2005 · Browning, Davis, Wolf
900 So. 2d 779; 2005 Fla. App. LEXIS 6631; 2005 WL 1047264 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Chandler v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal from judgment and sentence imposed for trafficking in cocaine, appellant claims, inter alia, that the trial court reversibly erred by allowing the prosecutor to peremptorily backstrike a juror after swearing of the jury panel and after all of the evidence was heard. We agree. See Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.310. We therefore reverse and remand for a new trial and find it unnecessary to address appellant’s remaining claims.

REVERSED; REMANDED FOR NEW TRIAL.

WOLF, C.J., DAVIS and BROWNING, JJ., concur.
