State v. R.R.

McDONALD, Chief Justice,

dissenting.

For the reasons expressed in my dissent in Smith v. State, 500 So.2d 125 (Fla.1986), I dissent from the majority opinion and call for the modification of the per se rule of Richardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla. 1971). The harmless error standard should be applicable to a trial court’s failure to hold a Richardson hearing.

SHAW, J., concurs.
