M.F. v. State

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided July 11, 1991No. 76371Published

1ConcurrenceMcDONALD, Justice

I concur in result only because I believe that In re B.T., 573 So.2d 101 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991), State v. M.M., 557 So.2d 217 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990), and In re E.M., 362 So.2d 427 (Fla. 4th DCA 1978), were correct and should be approved. I believe, absent prejudice to the defendant in preparing a defense, the state can make a substantive change in a timely filed delinquency petition.
