Guzman v. State

A trial judge may not summarily adjudicate defendant guilty of direct criminal contempt when the alleged contemptuous conduct took place, not in his presence or within his hearing, but in fact took place at another time and before a different trial judge. Lopez v. State, 423 So.2d 998 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982); Rule 3.830 Fla.R.Crim.P.

Therefore we reverse the adjudication of direct criminal contempt here under review.

Reversed.
