BARFIELD, Judge.
William Lester Felder appeals his convictions and sentences for armed robbery, use of a firearm during commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The trial court erred in giving an instruction on flight, and the prosecutor’s question to defendant on his failure to disclose an alibi to the investigator during interrogation in derogation of his right to remain silent was improper. Because these matters improperly involved the defendant’s character and conduct, their effect was so pervasive that a new trial must be held on all charges.
It is not necessary for us to address the remaining issue since the defendant can bring the question of severance to the trial court before the new trial.
The case is REVERSED and REMANDED to the trial court for a new trial.
ERVIN and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.

Moreover, when the decision rests largely on an evaluation of the credi [*1106] bility of the witnesses, this court cannot substitute its judgment for that of the trial court. Baker v. Niess, 496 So. 2d 215 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986). In light of the conflicting testimony presented with regard to the intent of the parties at the time the first lease agreement was executed, we cannot say that the trial court erred in concluding that Baker failed to prove its c…

Friday Hudlow Limbert v. Nickerson, 770 So. 2d 223 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000)…Given the possible inferences in favor of Limbert, the non-moving party, summary judgment was improperly entered. See DuBois v. Amestoy, 652 So. 2d 919, 920 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995); see also Holley v. May, 75 So. 2d 696, 698 (Fla.1954); Baker v. Niess, 496 So. 2d 215, 218 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986). Similar issues and inferences remain as to the easement award as well. Therefore, the final summary judgment must be reversed and a trial on the merits conducted. Reversed and remanded for further consistent proceedings.…
