Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jeffrey H. Garland of Jeffrey H. Garland, P.A., Fort Pierce, for appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Melanie Dale Surber , Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We reverse an order denying a motion for postconviction relief after an evidentiary hearing and remand to the circuit court for a new trial. We conclude that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to pursue an alibi defense once the prosecutor disclosed a new range of offense dates after the jury had been sworn.
