State v. R.P., 620 So. 2d 795, 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 6720, 1993 WL 217201 (Fla. Ct. App. 1993).
Opinion
Upon the Defendant’s proper confession of error, we reverse the trial court’s dismissal of the delinquency petition. Where the State requests a continuance due to the unavailability of a witness and the delay would not prejudice the Defendant, a dismissal constitutes an extreme sanction if less severe alternatives exist. See State v. S.M.F., 546 So.2d 20 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989).
