State v. Lewis
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided October 14, 1993 · Barkett, Grimes, Harding, Kogan, McDonald, Overton, Shaw
629 So. 2d 102; 18 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 543; 1993 Fla. LEXIS 1665; 1993 WL 406368 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Lewis

Opinion of the Court

OVERTON, Justice.

This cause is before the Court to review Lewis v. State, 597 So.2d 842 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992), in which the Third District Court of Appeal determined that the respondent, Brian Lewis, was entrapped as a matter of law based on the objective test for entrapment set forth by this Court in Cruz v. State, 465 So.2d 516 (Fla.), cert. denied, 473 U.S. 905, 105 S.Ct. 3527, 87 L.Ed.2d 652 (1985). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.

Based on our recent determination in Munoz v. State, 629 So.2d 90 (Fla. 1993), that section 777.201, Florida Statutes (1987), abolished the objective test in Cruz, we quash the district court’s decision and remand this cause to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the dictates of our decision in Munoz.

It is so ordered.

BARKETT, C.J., and McDONALD, SHAW, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
