ZIERMANN v. STATE

No. 96-2701.

696 So.2d 491 (1997)

John ZIERMANN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

July 2, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John H. Pelzer and Allyson D. Goodwin of Ruden, McClosky, Smith, Schuster & Russell, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Patricia Ann Ash, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

While we are not persuaded by appellant's first point on appeal, we are as to his second; therefore, we reverse and remand for new trial.

It was harmful error for the trial court to refuse to permit appellant's counsel to conduct direct examination of his client in accordance with Lawhorne v. State, 500 So.2d 519, 521 (Fla.1986); Johnson v. State, 679 So.2d 791
