Oscar Ray BOLIN, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. SC95774.
Supreme Court of Florida.
August 30, 2001.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Douglas S. Connor, Assistant Public Defender, Tenth Judicial Circuit, Bartow, FL, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Candance M. Sabella, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, FL, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
We have on appeal a judgment of conviction of first-degree murder and a sentence of death. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(1), Fla. Const. In accord with our decision in Bolin v. State, 793 So.2d 894 (Fla.2001) ("Bolin I"), we reverse Bolin's convictions and sentences and order a new trial.
Bolin was charged with the robbery, kidnaping, and murder of Natalie Blanche Holley. While awaiting his trial, Bolin attempted to commit suicide and wrote a letter to Captain Terry, who was investigating the charged crimes. As in Bolin I, the trial court erroneously held that Bolin had waived his spousal privilege in the suicide letter and improperly admitted evidence at the trial which was protected by the spousal privilege. The jury convicted him of armed robbery, kidnaping, and first-degree murder.
For the reasons expressed in Bolin I, we do not find competent, substantial evidence to support the trial court's decision that Bolin made a voluntary waiver through the letter. As in Bolin I, the State's case against Bolin revolved around privileged statements that Bolin made to his wife; this error cannot be considered to be harmless.[1] Therefore, we reverse Bolin's convictions and sentences and remand for a new trial.
It is so ordered.
