Dallas Seymour v. State of Florida

Appellant Dallas Seymour was charged with manslaughter and possession of firearm by a convicted felon following an incident which resulted in the death of a tenant in Appellant’s home. Appellant pled no contest to the possession of a firearm but took the manslaughter count to trial, where he was found guilty. Appellant now appeals the admission of certain pieces of evidence at his trial. Because we agree with Appellant that the trial court erred in admitting testimony that had been limited in pretrial proceedings, we reverse and remand for a new trial on the manslaughter charge.
