Antoinette BACON, Appellant, y. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 95-1190.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    May 1, 1996.
    Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Paul E. Petillo, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and William A. Spillias, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant and codefendants Algie Knight and Calvin Williams were convicted of trafficking in heroin. Appellant argues that the prosecutor’s remarks in closing warrant a new trial. In Knight v. State, 672 So.2d 590 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), we addressed the same issue and held that the prosecutor’s improper comments mandated a new trial. Accordingly, we reverse and remand this case for a new trial.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

DELL, POLEN and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
