District Court of Appeal of Florida

An order dismissing delinquency petitions filed against a juvenile on the basis of the state's violation of Florida-s speedy trial rule is affirmed where the trial court's finding that defendant was taken into custody on all six crimes when he was arrested was supported by competent substantial evidence, and thus, it properly dismissed the petitions for a failure to timely prosecute.
