Legal Opinion

Livingston v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided November 20, 1986No. 86-557PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

We find no merit in defendant’s contention that he was entitled to discharge under *999the speedy trial rule, Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.191(a), so his conviction is affirmed. That portion of the sentence imposing community service in lieu of $200 court costs on the indigent defendant is reversed because the crime for which he was convicted was committed prior to the effective date of section 27.3455, Florida Statutes (1985). See Yost v. State, 489 So.2d 131 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986). We again certify to the Supreme Court of Florida the following question of great public importance.
