Poole v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided January 24, 1996·No. No. 94-2731·Published·Cited by 3 cases
Opinion
This case fits squarely within our holding in Jones v. State, 656 So.2d 489 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995), which controls the outcome here. In Jones, as here, the trial court gave extemporaneous instructions to the jury that denigrate the reasonable doubt standard. We held in Jones that it was fundamental error to instruct a jury that it could convict on a lesser standard of proof. Accordingly, as we did in Jones, we reverse and remand for a new trial.
