J. Northcutt finds the circuit court improperly denied defendant’s motion for postconviction relief from his convictions for sexual battery, kidnapping, impersonating an officer, fraudulent use of a credit card and grand theft. Though defendant says that a letter purportedly sent by a Tampa police officer reveals the existence of surveillance video that would prove his innocence, the lack of a signature on the letter raises the question of authenticity. Still, the postconviction court failed to rule on defendant’s timely filed amended motion or to attach any records that refute his claim. The court also failed to hold an evidentiary hearing to determine the authenticity of the letter. Reversed and remanded.
