Jackson v. State
585 So. 2d 420
Fla. Dist. Ct. App.1991Check TreatmentBecause, on this record, we find that the trial court abused its discretion in limiting defense cross examination of a pivotal state’s witness regarding his generalized bias or lack thereof toward black citizens, we reverse appellant’s conviction and remand for a new trial on the authority of Smith v. State, 404 So.2d 167 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981). In view of such disposition, we do not reach appellant’s other point on appeal.
