“"Rules of practice and their employment in the conduct of trials are not inflexible. Their strict or technical enforcement cannot straight jacket the justice of the cause. Primarily, they are formulated and employed so that the Court may regulate and keep within legal bounds the general conduct of the trial. This Court has always recognized that a trial Court has wide latitude in regulating the conduct of trials in order that the administration of justice be speedily and fairly achieved in an orderly, dignified manner and befitting the gravity of the business in hand. In this function the trial Judge exercises the sound discretion with which he is vested. This discretion may be invoked and its exercise reasonably required for many reasons. It may be invoked when counsel in the stress of trial overlooks or fails to offer proof of a material matter or otherwise fails in his duty to his client in the conduct of his case. In a grave case, as here, where defendant's life was in jeopardy his ineptitude alone is enough." 58 So.2d at 191 . Aside from the fact that the charges here do not involve a capital offense, it is difficult to find any meaningful difference with Hahn .”
