Owen v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided March 13, 1991No. 89-0818PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

We perceive only one error in this case. Defense counsel objected when the state peremptorily challenged black veniremen. The trial court erroneously overruled these objections. State v. Slappy, 522 So.2d 18 (Fla.), cert. denied, 487 U.S. 1219, 108 S.Ct. 2873, 101 L.Ed.2d 909 (1988). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for new trial.

HERSEY, C.J., and GLICKSTEIN and DELL, JJ., concur.
