1. “The state contends that Corlew’s waiver of his right to be tried within 180 days was effective as to the state’s amended information since the amended information was based on the same conduct or criminal episode as the original information. Homer v. State, 358 So.2d 1176 (Fla.3d DCA 1978); State v. Luck, 336 So.2d 464 (Fla.4th DCA 1976). Corlew, however, seeks to sustain the trial court’s ruling on the basis of State v. Boyd, 368 So.2d 54 (Fla.2d DCA 1979). He asserts that Boyd stands for the proposition that a speedy trial waiver does not apply to an amended information charging a more serious crime than the original information. We disagree. Although Boyd involved a second information which charged the same crime as the original information, the basis for this court’s decision was that the charge in both informations arose out of the same criminal conduct. Id. at 55 . Moreover, in Boyd this court cited Homer which held that a waiver under an information charging a defendant with driving while intoxicated applied to a second information charging vehicular homicide. Since the second information in Homer charged a more serious crime than the original information and Boyd relies on Homer, Boyd does not support Corlew’s position.”
