Opinion
No. 1D99-1986.
Opinion filed May 26, 2000.
An appeal from Circuit Court for Duval County. L. Haldane Taylor, Judge.
Mary A. Kane and James P. Waczewski of Law Office of Mary Kane, P.A., Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Veronica S. McCrackin, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
The appellant in this direct criminal appeal challenges his conviction. We reverse the conviction and remand this case for a new trial because the trial court conducted an inadequate hearing regarding the state's discovery violation, see Richardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1971), and we are unable to say on this record that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See State v. Schopp, 653 So.2d 1016 (Fla. 1995).
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
