Legal Opinion
Warren v. State
District Court of Appeal of Florida
Decided November 16, 1982No. 82-504Published
1Per curiam
The State concedes that it was error for the trial court to deny the defendant an opportunity to present lay testimony on the issue of his sanity at the time of the alleged violation of probation. Butler v. State, 261 So.2d 508 (Fla. 1st DCA 1972). The State’s argument that a proffer of the testimony is required is without merit. Brown v. State, 362 So.2d 437 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978).
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
