Description
DREW, Justice. The petition for writ of certiorari in this cause is addressed to a decision of the District Court of Appeal, Third District, reversing a judgment in an action for wrongful death. The court, in reaching its conclusion as to reversible error in instructions to the jury, found that ""It is possible that the jury was not misled but we cannot say that they were not."" (Emphasis supplied.)1 Because of the language noted, the decision is alleged to be in direct conflict with holdings upon the same point of law in First National Bank in Orlando v. Roberts:2 ""To warrant the appellate court to reverse a judgment for an erroneous instruction, the court must be satisfied that the jury was misled,"" (Emphasis supplied) citing Hooker v. Johnson.3 Jurisdiction in this Court rests upon this prima facie conflict.
