BARFIELD, Judge.
Carl A. Lester was found guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping, and guilty of assault as a lesser included offense to battery. The judgment and sentence of the trial court are reversed and a new trial is ordered because of improper comments by the trial judge during jury selection and improper imposition of three year mandatory minimum sentences. The remaining issues raised on appeal are found to be without merit.
