Mangam v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided December 31, 1975No. 75-4PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

Appellant appeals from the revocation of his probation.

It is manifest from the colloquy that the trial court, in effect, ruled that appellant did not have Fifth Amendment constitutional rights and penalized him for refusing to testify.

We reverse upon authority of Heath v. State, 310 So.2d 38 (Fla.App. 4th, 1975), and remand for a new hearing.

Reversed and remanded.

WALDEN, C. J., and OWEN and MA-GER, JJ., concur.
