SCOTT v. STATE

No. 72091.

581 So.2d 887 (1991)

Bradley P. SCOTT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Florida.

Rehearing Denied July 26, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Dennis J. Rehak, Fort Myers, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Davis G. Anderson, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Bradley P. Scott appeals his conviction for first-degree murder and his resulting death sentence. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(1), Fla. Const. We find that we must reverse and vacate the conviction and sentence because the seven-year, seven-month delay in the prosecution of this cause constituted a violation of due process and because the circumstantial evidence was insufficient to support the conviction.
