P.S. v. State

We have for review the following question certified to be of great public importance by the Third District Court of Appeal:

Under Williams v. State, 622 So.2d 477 (Fla.1993), is a juvenile entitled to discharge if the State files a nolle prosequi and does not refile the charges until after the 90-day speedy trial period provided in Florida Rule of Juvenile Procedure 8.090(a)(1) has expired?

See State v. P.S., 641 So.2d 165, 166 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994).1 We have jurisdiction. Art. V, *933(b)(4), Fla. Const. We answer the question in the affirmative and quash the district court’s decision.
