Opinion

No. 1D05-3811.

May 4, 2007.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County. E. Vernon Douglas, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and W.C. McLain, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Charlie McCoy, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We find that the trial court erroneously instructed the jury on the forcible felony exception to self-defense contrary to this court's opinion in Williams v. State, 937 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006). We, therefore, reverse appellant's convictions and remand for a new trial.

WOLF, DAVIS, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
