District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided September 6, 1996·No. No. 95-2603·Published·Cited by 4 cases

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

In this appeal, J.H. correctly argues that the court erred by failing to comply with Florida Rule of Juvenile Procedure 8.165 (1995), which requires that the court advise a child accused of having committed a delinquent act of the right to counsel at each stage of the proceeding and ensure by a “thorough inquiry” that any waiver of that right has been freely and intelligently made. See, e.g., In the Interest of D.L.A, 667 So.2d 330 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995); In the Interest of J.M., 601 So.2d 604 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992); K.M. v. State, 448 So.2d 1124 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984); R.V.P. v. State, 395 So.2d 291 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981).

REVERSED and REMANDED.
