GREEN v. STATE

No. 97-03130.

735 So.2d 568 (1999)

Leonard GREEN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

June 11, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and William L. Sharwell, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Stephen D. Ake, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

NORTHCUTT, Judge.

We reverse Leonard Green's convictions for possession of cocaine and possession of paraphernalia, and we remand for a new trial. During Green's testimony at trial, the court erred in refusing to allow him to explain why he pleaded guilty to prior charges but chose to go to trial in the present case. See Lawhorne v. State, 500 So.2d 519 (Fla.1986); Scurry v. State, 701 So.2d 587
