No. 4D03-837.

874 So.2d 677 (2004)

William Guy PETERS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

May 26, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Louis G. Carres, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Defendant challenges his conviction for one count of battery, one count of trespass, and one count of fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer. These charges all arose from incidents involving his ex-wife in her home. He argues that the trial court reversibly erred in denying his challenge for cause against a potential juror who said she was still "devastated" by her past experience also involving spousal abuse. We agree and reverse.
