JACKSON v. STATE

PER CURIAM.

Because, on this record, we find that the trial court abused its discretion in limiting defense cross examination of a pivotal state's witness regarding his generalized bias or lack thereof toward black citizens, we reverse appellant's conviction and remand for a new trial on the authority of Smith v. State, 404 So.2d 167 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981). In view of such disposition, we do not reach appellant's other point on appeal.

ERVIN, ZEHMER and MINER, JJ., concur.
