No. 1D15-1745.

206 So.3d 742 (2016)

Willie CROCKETT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

On Motion for Rehearing January 10, 2017.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy A. Daniels , Public Defender, and Victor Holder , Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, and Michael Schaub , Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


Appellant raises a number of issues on appeal. We find one issue is dispositive and requires reversal. Appellant asserts the State violated his constitutional right to a speedy trial when it prosecuted him over eight years after it filed the information against him. Based on the unique facts of this case, we agree and reverse.
