C.P.-W., a juvenile, Appellant, v. The State of Florida, Appellee. (2023)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

C.P.-W., a juvenile, Appellant, v. The State of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D21-1379

Decided: March 29, 2023

Before LOGUE, HENDON, and BOKOR, JJ.

Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Susan S. Lerner, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Magaly Rodriguez, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

We reverse and remand for a new adjudicatory hearing because, under the facts of this case, the trial court's “failure to render case-specific findings of necessity justifying conducting the juvenile adjudicatory hearing[ ] remotely resulted in a denial of due process.” J.T.B. v. State, 345 So. 3d 927, 934 (Fla. 3d DCA 2022). As we are reversing for a new adjudicatory hearing, we do not address the remaining arguments raised by C.P.-W. in this appeal.

Reversed and remanded.

PER CURIAM.
