Chapman v. State

8 So. 3d 504, 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 5423, 2009 WL 1393413

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Based upon the state’s concession of error, we reverse appellant’s conviction and sentence and remand for a new trial. The trial court conducted a Faretta 1 inquiry and determined that appellant was competent to represent himself. However, at each subsequent critical stage of the proceedings the court failed to renew an offer to appellant to obtain assistance of counsel. See Traylor v. State, 596 So.2d 957, 968 (Fla.1992); Sproule v. State, 719 So.2d 349 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998); Fla. R. Crim P. 3.111(d)(5).

Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
