May 19, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Before FERGUSON, COPE and GODERICH, JJ.


COPE, Judge.

Roderick Lorenzo Wimberly appeals his convictions for armed robbery, false imprisonment, burglary of a structure, dealing in stolen property, and unlawful possession of a firearm while engaged in a criminal offense. We reverse.

The principal issue on appeal is whether the trial court erred by overruling a peremptory challenge exercised by Wimberly, and ordering the juror to be seated. We conclude that the trial court erred in so doing.
