Description

Michael Grimsley, in his petition filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c), alleges that his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to argue in the direct appeal of his aggravated battery conviction that the instruction on the justifiable use of force, which was given to the jury at trial, constituted fundamental error. We agree that appellate counsel rendered ineffective assistance when she neglected to raise this issue. Accordingly, we grant the petition, reverse Grimsleys conviction, vacate the sentence imposed thereon, and remand for a new trial.
