783 So. 2d 333 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 2001
Lead Opinion
We reverse and remand this case for the trial court to conduct an evidentiary hearing or attach portions of the record conclusively refuting the claim that defense counsel was ineffective for failing to inform the appellant that voluntary intoxication was a defense to his robbery charges and the burglary charge in case number 98-1940G. See Richardson v. State, 723 So.2d 910, 911 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999); Kiser v. State, 678 So.2d 859, 860 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996). See also Thomas v. State, 734 So.2d 1138 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999)(reversing for further proceedings on voluntary intoxication claim even though the appellant pled guilty and indicated in a plea agreement he was satisfied with defense counsel’s performance).
AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.
Concurrence Opinion
concurring.
For the reasons expressed in my concurring opinion in Odom v. State, 782 So.2d 510(Fla. 1st DCA 2001), I join in the decision to remand this case to the trial court.
