Before COPE, GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.
Johnnie Hall appeals his convictions for aggravated battery and false imprisonment. Hall was tried jointly with codefendant Thomas Preston. This court reversed Preston's conviction and remanded for a new trial. Preston v. State, 641 So.2d 169 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994). The same principles apply to Hall's appeal. Consequently the convictions are reversed on authority of Preston v. State and the cause remanded for a new trial.
Reversed and remanded.
