¶1This case reflects judicial and prosecutorial errors which compel reversal.
¶2The trial court did not comply with Coney v. State, 653 So.2d 1009 (Fla.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 116 S.Ct. 315, 133 L.Ed.2d 218 (1995), although the trial occurred in April 1996. It failed to instruct the jury properly, although there was a timely request and objection.
¶3Accordingly, we reverse and remand for new trial.
¶4. The point raised by appellant on the sentencing error, although no longer relevant, is not persuasive. See Myers v. State, 696 So.2d 893 (4th DCA 1997).
