Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Before HUBBART, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.


PER CURIAM.

Charged with battery and resisting arrest without violence, Alex Hernandez went to trial before a jury in the county court. During cross-examination of the arresting officer, defense counsel asked whether the officer was under internal review investigation for actions in other cases. Before the witness could respond, the judge dismissed the jury and declared a mistrial, finding that the question violated section 112.533(2), Florida Statutes (1987).
