Opinions

PER CURIAM.

The other members of a state attorney’s office are not disqualified from prosecuting a criminal case merely because one prosecuting attorney in the office is the alleged victim and a State’s witness in the case. See Clausell v. State, 455 So.2d 1050 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984). See also State ex rel. Oldham v. Aulls, 408 So.2d 587 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981); Thompson v. State, 246 So.2d 760 (Fla.1971); United States v.
