District Court of Appeal of Florida October 9, 2013, No. 4D12-2493 (Bethel v. State)

GERBER, J.

The defendant appeals his conviction and sentence for grand theft of a motor vehicle and burglary of a dwelling. He argues that the trial court erred in denying his cause challenge to a potential juror who was an assistant state attorney in the same state attorney’s office as the prosecutor. We agree with the defendant and reverse for a new trial.
