Opinion
STATE of Florida, Petitioner,
v.
Steve GUTHRIE, Respondent.
Supreme Court of Florida.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Robert J. Krauss, Senior Assistant Attorney General and John M. Klawikofsky, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa; and Earl Moreland, State Attorney and Peter J. Lombardo, Assistant State Attorney, Sarasota, for Petitioner.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender and Kevin Briggs, Assistant Public Defender, Tenth Judicial Circuit, Bartow, for Respondent.
*889 PER CURIAM.
We have for review the opinion in State v. Guthrie, 666 So.2d 562 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995), which certified conflict with the opinion in Sapp v. State, 660 So.2d 1146 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995). We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.
This Court recently approved Sapp and held that an accused may not effectively invoke the right to counsel under the Fifth Amendment of the federal constitution or article I, section 9 of the Florida Constitution until custodial interrogation has begun or is imminent. Sapp v. State, 690 So.2d 581 (Fla. 1997). We therefore quash the decision of the district court below and remand for further proceedings.
It is so ordered.
OVERTON, GRIMES, HARDING and WELLS, JJ., concur.
KOGAN, C.J., and SHAW and ANSTEAD, JJ., dissent.
