Opinion
No. 2D05-5280.
November 15, 2006.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hills-borough County; William Fuente, Judge.
Brooke V. Elvington of Escobar, Ramirez Associates, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant.
Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Danilo Cruz-Carino, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.
Jose Sierra appeals his conviction and sentence for aggravated battery and argues that the trial court committed fundamental error in instructing the jury on his self-defense claim. The State properly concedes error. See Swanson v. State, 921 So.2d 852 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006); Velazquez v. State, 884 So.2d 377 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004); Baker v. State, 877 So.2d 856 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004); Zuniga v. State, 869 So.2d 1239 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new trial.
Reversed and remanded.
SILBERMAN and CANADY, JJ., and FARNELL, DEE ANNA, Associate Judge, concur.
