LANGTON v. STATE

No. 83-1471.

448 So.2d 534 (1984)

Patrick Thomas LANGTON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Rehearing Denied April 12, 1984.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph P. McNulty of McNulty, Moritz, Pecarek, Dickey & Herman, Largo, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, Robert J. Landry, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

LEHAN, Judge.

Defendant was convicted under section 806.01(1), Florida Statutes (1981), of arson in the first degree. He contends on appeal that the trial court erred in failing to suppress his confession. We agree with defendant and reverse the conviction because the confession was adduced under circumstances inconsistent with requirements of Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966).
