Opinion
No. 97-1207.
December 17, 1998.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Henry E. Davis, Judge.
Teresa J. Sopp, Jacksonville, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Trina Kramer, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
The trial court did not conduct an adequate inquiry into appellant's objections to his court appointed counsel before discharging counsel and requiring appellant to attempt to conduct his own defense at trial. Therefore, we reverse and remand for a new trial. See Hardwick v. State, 521 So.2d 1071 (Fla. 1988); Nelson v. State, 274 So.2d 256 (Fla. 4th DCA 1973).
JOANOS, KAHN and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
