HECTOR AMAYA, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 1994-08-17
No. 93-3339
ANSTEAD, KLEIN and PARIENTE, JJ., concur.
641 So. 2d 466 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1994) Caution
Cited by 6 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse and remand for a new trial because of the trial court’s error in refusing appellant access to counsel during an overnight recess at trial. We reject appellant’s claims that the trial court erred in denying motions to dismiss and for directed verdict.

The state concedes, and we agree, that the trial court erred in refusing appellant access to counsel. See Geders v. United States, 425 U.S. 80, 96 S.Ct. 1330, 47 L.Ed.2d 592 (1976); Bova v. State, 410 So. 2d 1343 (Fla.1982). Further, we are unable to determine that the error was harmless under the strict test set out in State v. DiGuilio, 491 So. 2d 1129 (Fla.1986).

ANSTEAD, KLEIN and PARIENTE, JJ., concur.
