Supreme Court of Florida

Aundra Johnson, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent — Canady, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

January 27, 201153 So. 3d 1003

Summary

Chief Justice Canady, writing a concurring in part and dissenting in part, argues that the trial‑court error of prohibiting a read‑back of testimony is not a per se reversible error and should be subject to a harmless‑error analysis. He would reverse the lower court’s judgment and remand for such analysis, rejecting the majority’s automatic reversal rule.
