  • holding under section 90.403 general drug dealer criminal behavior patterns unduly prejudicial with only purpose to place misleading inferences before jury
  • noting that \any remark which is `fairly susceptible' of being interpreted as a comment on silence creates a `high risk' of error\
  • “This court has repeatedly condemned testimony about behavior patterns of criminals, including drug dealers, based upon an officer’s observations in other cases.” (citations omitted)
  • reversible error where court admitted testimony of police detective concerning general behavioral patterns of drug dealers
  • “Is there any other reasonable explanation[?] If there is you haven't heard it in this trial.”
  • comment on defendant's failure to explain why he had been traveling under an assumed name was fairly susceptible to interpretation on his right to remain silent and not harmless where defendant was the only person who could have testified about that issue
