Terry JAMES, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 90-367.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 12, 1991.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Robert Kalter, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Charles M. Fahlbusch, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
    Before BASKIN, COPE and GERSTEN, JJ.
   ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

Based on Pineda v. State, 571 So.2d 105 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990), the State concedes that the trial court committed reversible error by limiting voir dire to twenty minutes, where there were twenty-nine potential jurors and the charges were attempted first degree murder of a police officer and robbery. Because there must be a new trial, we need not reach appellant’s second point on appeal.
