HENKEL v. STATE (1998)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Fourth District.

George HENKEL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 96-3313.

Decided: March 11, 1998

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Diana K. Bock, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Reversed. See Vazquez v. State, 700 So.2d 5 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997), rev. granted, 705 So.2d 902 (Fla.1998). As we said in Vazquez, the standard jury instruction on entrapment does not comport with the dictates of Munoz v. State, 629 So.2d 90 (Fla.1993). That was the jury instruction given in this case and, as we did in Vazquez, we reverse and remand for a new trial.

PER CURIAM.

WARNER, FARMER and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
