REYES v. STATE

No. 95-0034.

674 So.2d 921 (1996)

Luis Enrique REYES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

June 5, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Marcy K. Allen, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Elliot B. Kula, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

POLEN, Judge.

Luis Enrique Reyes appeals from a final judgment and sentence convicting him of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. We reverse because the trial court fundamentally erred by giving an instruction to the venire on reasonable doubt, which unlawfully minimized this standard.

The trial court's instructions to the venire at bar, were almost identical to those given to the venire in Jones v. State, 656 So.2d 489
