Lucie RAPHAEL, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 90-1229.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 5, 1991.
    John H. Lipinski, Miami, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Ivy R. Ginsberg, Asst. Atty. Gen., for ap-pellee.
    Before NESBITT, BASKIN and JORGENSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The state correctly concedes that the trial court erred in excluding the defense witnesses without conducting a Richardson inquiry. Richardson v. State, 246 So.2d 771 (Fla.1971); Smith v. State, 372 So.2d 86 (Fla.1979); S.G. v. State, 518 So.2d 964 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Ward v. State, 477 So.2d 66 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985), approved, 502 So.2d 1245 (Fla.1987). We therefore reverse the convictions and sentences and remand for a new trial.

Reversed and remanded.
