“While of course it is possible that the improper testimony adduced to impeach the witness in question was harmless, I am unable to reach that conclusion with sufficient certitude to let stand a conviction of the highest charge contained in the information and a sentence of life imprisonment. Cf. Pitts v. State, Fla. App. 1975, 315 So.2d 531 (Second District). We really cannot say that had this testimony not been adduced the jury would not have found appellant guilty of one of the lesser included offenses... . Fulton v. State, 318 So.2d 511, 513 (Fla. App. 4th 1975).”
