Wade v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided August 10, 2010

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2010-08-10

Decided 2010-08-10

PER CURIAM.

¶1 Appellant, Teddy Keith Wade, challenges his conviction for Organized Fraud, Uttering a Forged Check, and Grand Theft. Because the State did not commence prosecution for the Organized Fraud and Uttering a Forged Check offenses before their respective statutes of limitations expired; and, because the State failed to demonstrate the delay in prosecution was reasonable, we find prosecution for these two offenses was time-barred. See § 775.15(5), Fla. Stat. (2005).

¶2 We reverse Mr. Wade’s convictions for Organized Fraud and Uttering a Forged Check, affirm his conviction for Grand Theft and remand for the trial court to resentence Mr. Wade consistent with this opinion.

¶3 REVERSED.
