STATE v. EATON

No. 2D03-2054.

868 So.2d 650 (2004)

STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Thomas A. EATON, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

March 19, 2004.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Timothy A. Freeland, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Bruce P. Taylor, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellee.

VILLANTI, Judge.

The State appeals the trial court's order excluding evidence of blood alcohol test results based on its determination that the State had willfully violated the rules of discovery. We treat the State's appeal as a petition for a writ of certiorari and grant the petition because the trial court departed from the essential requirements of the law by excluding the evidence without considering other, less severe sanctions.
