554 So. 2d 19 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 88-0028.

December 13, 1989. Clarification Denied January 24, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for St. Lucie County; Rupert J. Smith, Judge.

Kendall J. Phillips of Phillips and Gale, P.A., Fort Pierce, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Celia A. Terenzio, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Appellant raises four points, two of which we conclude to be meritorious. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for new trial with direction to proceed in accordance herewith.

In brief, we conclude that it was error to admit the Williams rule evidence and not make more specific findings, which must be made on remand, of reliability of the videotape.

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